摘要

A system and method for treating a tissue site of a patient may include applying a reduced pressure to a tissue site of a patient. Electricity may be generated in response to sensing a temperature level being generated by the patient. The generated electricity may be collected for use in applying a reduced pressure to the tissue site of the patient. In one embodiment, the generated electricity may be collected in a rechargeable battery.
