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 comprising:
a conduit holder having a first bulkhead surface, a second bulkhead surface, a top surface being convex in shape, and a bottom surface conformable in shape to a tissue contact region proximate to a tissue site; 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 a source of reduced pressure; 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 adjacent the first bulkhead surface; and a porous pad having a primary delivery region configurable to contact the tissue site and a porous bridge configurable to contact the first bulkhead surface in fluid communication with the first conduit and the bridge overlay zone.
