REDUCED-PRESSURE SYSTEM AND METHOD EMPLOYING A GASKET

摘要

A reduced-pressure treatment system for treating a tissue site on a patient includes a gasket releasably attached around a perimeter of the tissue site that may remain in place for an extended time and allows an over-drape to be attached to it. The system and method further may include a manifold sized and configured to be placed in contact with the tissue site; the over-drape positioned over the manifold and sealed to the gasket to create a sealed space between the over-drape and the tissue site; and a reduced-pressure source fluidly coupled to the sealed space to deliver reduced pressure to the tissue site. A method is also presented.

1. A system adapted for assembly to treat a tissue site, comprising:
a manifold adapted for placement proximate to the tissue site; a gasket adapted for placement on a periwound area around the tissue site; an over-drape adapted to cover the manifold and to extend past a peripheral edge of the manifold to form a drape extension; a first attachment apparatus comprising a first adhesive adapted for application between the drape extension and the gasket; and a second attachment apparatus comprising a second adhesive adapted for application between the gasket and the periwound area; wherein the first attachment apparatus is weaker than the second attachment apparatus; wherein the first adhesive is different from the second adhesive.
