METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROMOTING SOFT TISSUE ENLARGEMENT AND WOUND HEALING |
摘要 |
<p>An apparatus and method for healing open wounds through enlargement of soft tissue surrounding said wound is comprised of a dome (12) configured to fit over the wound and at least a portion of the surrounding soft tissue. The dome (12) has a rim (14) with a surface area equal to or greater than the normal area of the dome opening to prevent medical complications caused by excessive pressure to the skin. A gasket (46) or other cushioning material may be provided about the periphery of the dome (12) for patient comfort and improved seal. The dome (12) also includes a vacuum pump (20) with a power source (22), pressure sensor (24), and servomechanism (26) for regulating the pressure within the dome (12) to any one of several protocols using pressures which might temporarily exceed non-damaging levels.</p> |
