System And Method For Sealing An Incisional Wound

摘要

An apparatus, system, and method for treating an incisional wound having incisional walls is disclosed. The apparatus includes a conduit having a first end for receiving reduced pressure and a second end. The apparatus further includes a scaffold. The scaffold has opposing surfaces for positioning adjacent the incisional walls and is fluidly coupled to the second end of the conduit for receiving the reduced pressure. The scaffold is generally elongated in shape and has a thickness between the opposing surfaces that is sufficiently thin for positioning within the incisional wound. The apparatus further includes an internal manifold that has a primary flow channel extending generally longitudinally within the scaffold and between the opposing surfaces of the scaffold. The internal manifold is fluidly coupled to the second end of the conduit. The application of the reduced pressure through the scaffold and the internal manifold induces tissue apposition between the incisional walls.

1. An apparatus to treat an incisional wound having incisional walls, the apparatus comprising:
a scaffold having surfaces for positioning adjacent the incisional walls and configured to be fluidly coupled to a conduit to receive reduced pressure, the scaffold having a thickness configured to be positioned within the incisional wound; and an internal manifold having a primary flow channel extending within the scaffold and configured to be fluidly coupled to the conduit, wherein the primary flow channel is formed by a bioresorbable tubing.
