LOW-PROFILE REDUCED PRESSURE TREATMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A low-profile reduced pressure treatment apparatus and system are provided. The apparatus includes a moldable conduit holder, a conduit through the conduit holder, and a flexible base. The conduit holder has first and second bulkhead surfaces, a convex top surface, and a bottom surface adapted to conform to a tissue contact region adjacent to a tissue site. An end of the conduit is substantially flush with the first bulkhead surface and a longitudinal axis of the conduit is substantially perpendicular to the first and second bulkhead surfaces. The base is connected on a first side to the bottom surface of the conduit holder, and extends beyond the first bulkhead surface to form an overlay zone adjacent the first bulkhead surface. An adhesive is disposed on a second side of the flexible base to secure the flexible base to the tissue contact region.

主权项

1. A reduced pressure treatment apparatus for use with a porous pad having a first portion configurable to contact a tissue site and a second portion configurable to receive reduced pressure, comprising:
a conduit holder having a first bulkhead surface configured to contact the second portion of the porous pad, a second bulkhead surface configured to be coupled to a source of reduced pressure, a bottom surface conformable in shape to a tissue contact region proximate to the tissue site, and a top surface having a convex shape; a first conduit extending through the conduit holder from the first bulkhead surface to the second bulkhead surface and adapted to receive reduced pressure from the source of reduced pressure through the second bulkhead surface and to be in fluid communication with the second portion of the porous pad through the first bulkhead surface; and a flexible membrane connected to the bottom surface of the conduit holder and extending beyond the first bulkhead surface to form a bridge overlay zone adapted to be in fluid communication with the second portion of the porous pad.
