WOUND CARE SYSTEM WITH A MAT OF CAPILLARY MEMBRANES

摘要

Wound care system comprising a single-layer arrangement of mutually parallel capillary membranes with a porous, semi-permeable wall, a lumen and at least one open end, wherein the capillary membranes have an external diameter in the range of 50 to 500 μm and a wall thickness in the range of 5 to 1000 μm and, with their open end, are fluidically connected to a common supply line with a wall and a lumen, characterized in that the capillary membranes are connected to one another by means of connection elements to form a mat and are held at a distance from one another by the connection elements, in that the capillary membranes are embedded with their open end so fluid-tightly in the wall of the common supply line that a fluid connection is obtained between the lumen of the supply line and the lumen of the capillary membranes, in that the distance of the capillary membranes from one another in the mat is 1 to 10 times the external diameter of the capillary membranes, and in that the distance of the connection elements from one another is in the range of 1 to 50 mm.

1. Wound care system, comprising a single-layer arrangement of mutually parallel capillary membranes with a porous, semi-permeable wall and a lumen and at least one open end,
wherein the capillary membranes have an external diameter in the range of 50 to 500 μm and a wall thickness in the range of 5 to 1000 μm, wherein the capillary membranes, with their at least one open end, are connected to at least one common supply line with a wall and a lumen,characterized in that
the capillary membranes, with their at least one open end, are embedded at their outer periphery so fluid-tightly in the wall of the at least one supply line that a fluid connection exists between the lumen of the supply line and the lumen of the capillary membranes, the arrangement of mutually parallel capillary membranes furthermore has a plurality of spaced and mutually parallel connection elements by means of which the capillary membranes are connected to one another to form a mat and are held at a distance from one another by the connection elements, the distance of the capillary membranes from one another in the mat is 1 to 10 times the external diameter of the capillary membranes, wherein the distance is measured from the longitudinal axes of the capillary membranes, and the distance of the connection elements from one another lies in the range of 1 to 50 mm.
