CONNECTOR DEVICE FOR USE IN NEGATIVE-PRESSURE THERAPY OF WOUNDS

摘要

The invention relates to a connector device (2) for use in negative-pressure therapy of wounds, with a conduit (10), to which negative pressure can be applied, and with a planar support means (12), which is provided for the conduit (10) and is tight in respect of negative pressure, and on which the conduit (10) is held in a manner tight in respect of negative pressure, wherein the support means (12) can be applied to a negative-pressure dressing (6) that covers the wound and provides a seal with respect to the atmosphere, such that the conduit (10) can communicate with the wound space through at least one opening (18, 20) in the conduit (10) and in the support means (12) and in the negative-pressure dressing (6); the connector device is improved by virtue of the fact that, on the side (22) of the support means (12) facing the wound, an at least three-ply adhesion-promoting layer (24) is provided, which comprises a central supporting ply (26), a first adhesive layer (28) held on the supporting ply (26) and facing the support means (12), and a second adhesive layer (30) held on the supporting ply (26) and facing away from the support means (12), and which is designed such that it does not block the at least one opening (18) in the support means (12).
