<p>An apparatus (101) for applying treatment gas to a wound, burn, infection or otherwise damaged skin area comprises an inflatable dome (103) attached to the surrounding skin portion (105) by a seal gasket (107). An age-degradable adhesive (215) seals and attaches the seal gasket to the surrounding skin portion. A re-sealable adhesive (213) releasable attaches the dome to the seal gasket. A treatment gas hose (109) and nozzle (111) provide treatment gas to the interior portion (107) enclosed by the inflatable dome. Stimulator electrodes (117), attached to the apparatus provide electrical stimulation to skin portions (105A) surrounding the wound area, which together with the treatment gas, promote healing of the wound. The re-sealable adhesive allows quick and easy removal and re-application of the inflatable dome without removal of the seal gasket.</p> |
