Provided is a device for providing a vacuum to a tissue, including a first tissue cover for covering the tissue and having first peripheral portion with a tissue facing contact surface adapted to be sealingly affixed to a first tissue portion surrounding the tissue, the device being adapted for enabling a vacuum to be selectively applied to the tissue in operation of the device; a substantially contiguous layer of flowable sealing material configured for covering a second tissue portion abuttingly adjacent at least a part of the first peripheral portion, where the sealing material is configured for filling gaps between the contact surface and the first tissue portion that may form leaks, by flowing towards the contact surface under suction provided when the vacuum is applied to the damaged tissue in operation of the device, and where the sealing material is uncoupled with respect to the contact surface at least prior to affixing the contact surface to the first tissue portion; and a second tissue cover covering at least a part of the layer. The device may be provided in the form of a kit. A system and method including the device are also provided. |
