SEE-THROUGH, REDUCED-PRESSURE DRESSINGS AND SYSTEMS

摘要

A see-through dressing assembly is presented for use with a reduced-pressure system for treating a wound on a patient using reduced pressure that allows visual observation of the wound during treatment. The dressing assembly includes a bolster (46) for providing a directed force when under reduced pressure, a sealing member (72) for covering the bolster and providing a seal over the bolster and a patient's epidermis, and wherein the bolster and sealing member are formed from see-through materials sufficient to allow perception of color from a point external to the system. Other systems, dressings, and methods are presented.
