METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROMOTING SOFT TISSUE ENLARGEMENT AND WOUND HEALING |
摘要 |
<p>An apparatus and method for healing open wounds through enlargement of soft tissue surrounding said wound is comprised of a dome configured to fit over the wound and at least a portion of the surrounding soft tissue. The dome has a rim with a surface area equal to or greater than the normal area of the dome opening to prevent medical complications caused by excessive pressure to the skin. A gasket or other cushioning material may be provided about the periphery of the dome for patient comfort and improved seal. The dome also includes a vacuum pump with a power source, pressure sensor, and servomechanism for regulating the pressure within the dome to any one of several protocols using pressures which might temporarily exceed non-damaging levels.</p> |
