WOUND DEBRIDEMENT BY IRRIGATION WITH ULTRASONICALLY ACTIVATED MICROBUBBLES

摘要

A treatment system for debriding a treatment area of a tissue site and applying negative pressure is disclosed. In some embodiments, the treatment system may include an ultrasonic bubble generator (138) fluidly coupled to a negative-pressure source (116), fluid source (117), and a dressing (114). Fluid may be drawn from the fluid source to the ultrasonic bubble generator, whereby micro-bubbles and ultrasonic waves may be generated in the fluid before the fluid is instilled to the dressing.
