专利说明:

[0001] The present invention relates to a wound treatment arrangement that is attached to a skin around a wound and serves to create a space, in which the wound is contained, with a covering device and a suction connector. , through which negative pressure can be created in the wound space; as well as a covering device for such a wound treatment arrangement.
[0002] This type of provisions for the treatment of wounds is particularly used in the field of so-called Vacuotherapy. It has been shown that, in particular, the healing of chronic wounds can be promoted by applying negative pressure to these wounds. Thus, it has been shown to be very advantageous, that when a wound is covered or filled with foam with open pores or gauze as a filling material, the wound, to create a wound space, in which the wound and as the case may be. contained filling materials are covered and on which a suction connector is mounted on the side of the covering device, where the filling material is used in the wound, through which the wound space can be connected with a mounted suction device for creating negative pressure. In other arrangements, a flange of the cover device's suction connector is uncovered or attached to a surrounding pocket in a cover opening. The suction connector can, for example, be equipped, on the one hand, for example, with a suction connector interconnection device in the form of a support tube and, on the other hand, with a hose connectable to a suction device. . The covering device can, for example, consist of sheet-like material, which is fixed sealed to the surface of the skin, in the vicinity of the wound.
[0003] Wound treatment provisions, which are applicable in the field of Vacuotherapy, are, for example, described in document No. EP 0 620 720 B1. The disclosure of this document is related to details referring to the foam formation means used in the field of Vacuotherapy and the suction device, so that it is expressly referenced in this description.
[0004] Document No. 10 2009 019 646 A1 describes a contact layer to be placed on the wound base to improve the management of exudate between the filler material and the contact layer with the wound base; which creates a drainage area between the filler and the wound base. The disclosure of this document is related to details regarding the wound coverage, respectively, to the contact layer formed in the drainage area, so that they are expressly referenced in this description.
[0005] Suction connectors used in the Vacuum Therapy field, which can be connected to a suction device through a hose, are described, for example, in documents No. WO 03/073970 A1, WO 2008/014358 A2 and WO 2009/124548 A1. A suction connector called the suction head serving the projections is described in document No. EP 1 018 967 B1, and for the flow guide in the area of the limit surface of the suction connector, so that the wound is directed to the surface limit. In addition, a suction connector with a contact surface to be arranged on the filling material is indicated, in the form of a disk-shaped shell indicated in document No. EP 1 088 569 B1. In a suction connector described in document No. WO 2010/008167 A2 the boundary surfaces on which the filling material is directed are formed by channels limited by grids; through which the wound exudate must be directed towards a suction opening.
[0006] Document WO 2010/01 1 148 A1 describes an arrangement for treating wounds, used in the field of Vacuotherapy, such arrangement comprises a hose that is pulled and impermeable through one end of the human body, as well as like a perforated body to be made available between the wound and the hose. With the perforated body, an area is prepared between the impermeable hose and the wound base, in which negative pressure is produced through a hose connector mounted with a sealed and impermeable hose. EP 1 162 932 B1 describes an arrangement for treating wounds with an envelope made of a plastic material, in which there is a material that absorbs fluid. The wound care provision described in this document is designed to protect wounds. Due to the lack of a hose connector, the arrangement is not suitable for vacuum therapy. The European Patent Notice not pre-published according to document No. 11001737.3 describes a provision for wound treatment according to the title of the patent claim 1. The publication content of this notice, in view of the characteristics of the suction connector, is highlighted with reference in that description. In the use of current wound treatment provisions, in many cases, excessive dryness and sometimes maceration of the wound is observed during vacuotherapy.
[0007] Due to these problems, the invention aims, based on the state of the art, to provide a wound treatment arrangement, with which, through the use of vacuum therapy, it is possible to promote the healing of wound safely.
[0008] According to the invention, this purpose will be achieved by improving the well-known wound treatment arrangement, which is substantially distinguished by the fact that the covering device is at least permeable to water vapor in sections.
[0009] This invention returns to the reflection, that the basics in a wound cover for requirements to be imposed for vacuum therapy - by means of which, an airtight and impermeable wound space must be generated, which, additionally, must also be germ-proof, biocompatible and non-harmful to the skin - do not be too damaged, at the cost of a leakage damage when the water vapor permeable covering device is designed. By means of water vapor permeability, it is possible, on the one hand, to dehydrate the wound too much by transporting the humidity of the environment in the wound space, on the other hand, also by macerating the wound by emptying the excess moisture through coverage. It can be adjusted in a healing promoting environment in the wound space, respectively, in the wound space, using a water vapor permeable covering device. In addition, it also reduces the possibility of compromising the skin around the wound on which the dressing device is placed, through the water vapor permeability of the wound dressing.
[0010] The desired functioning of the environment in the wound space can occur especially safely when the water vapor permeability of the covering device is at least 300 g / m2 / 24 h or more, particularly 500 g / m2 / 24 h or more, especially preferred 750 g / m2 / 24 h.
[0011] To avoid too much dehydration of the wound, the water vapor permeability of the covering device is, appropriately, less than 10,000 g / m2 / 24 h, particularly less than 5,000 g / m2 / 24 h, especially preferable 3,000 g / m2 / 24 h or less. Information on water vapor permeability refers to measurements in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13726-2.
[0012] If the wound is in the area of a joint, it must also be ensured that the covering device is sufficiently malleable. This can be guaranteed if the cover device has a flexible cover sheet with a thickness of 0.5 to 200 μm, particularly from 1 to 100 μm. In the sense of observing the wound without removing the wound treatment provision, such a process proved to be advantageous when a transparent cover sheet was used. In an especially preferred pattern the invention features a polyurethane polymer, especially an aromatic polyurethane polymer, in the cover device.
[0013] As explained above, in relation to the known covering devices already clarified, it proved to be more advantageous, when providing a coated filling material for filling the wound between the wound base and the covering device; preferably, a drainage layer is provided on the side of the suction connector facing the filling material to introduce the exudate aspirated from the filling material in at least one suction opening of the suction connector. If such a suction connector is provided, neither channel-shaped projections on the boundary surface of the suction connector facing the filler material nor an extension of the suction surface in the form of a disc-shaped shell are necessary. On the contrary, it is sufficient when the limit surface of the suction connector facing the filling material is implanted in a flat flange-like manner and is pushed through the suction opening; since the introduction of wound exudate from the filling material is caused not by a special composition of the connector, but by the drainage layer disposed between the connection and the filling material. If the contact surface of the suction connector to be disposed in the drainage layer is implanted flat, that is, without projections, either in the form of limited reinforcement channels or in the form of annular reliefs - such as in the shape of hulls. slice according to EP 1 088 569 B1 - the impressions of the relief structures on the drainage layer are prevented to thereby ensure the safe operation of the drainage layer.
[0014] At this point, it is complemented and, moreover, indicated, that the use of water vapor permeable covering devices is useful, not only for creating a desired environment in the wound space, but also for protecting the skin around the wound, as damage to the skin, as seen with impermeable cover means, cannot be ruled out.
[0015] The covering device of the wound treatment arrangement of the present invention should be fixable around the skin of the wound. For this, the covering device itself can be equipped with an adhesive coating. The application of the cover devices of the invention is, however, simplified when the cover device is assigned in the form of an uncoated cover sheet, as the case may be, in the form of a hose, a separate adhesive sheet, particularly an adherent polyurethane sheet. , with which the wound cover, after application on the skin around it, can be fixed. The adhesive sheet may be in the form of a foil strip. In the context of the invention, those offered and sold by the applicant under the trade name Suprasorb F can be used as adhesive sheets. In this context, it should also be noted that the water vapor permeability of the covering device is significantly impaired by the coating adhesive. It can decrease less than a third of the uncoated covering device.
[0016] The wound treatment arrangement of the present invention is indicated with special advantage for the treatment of wounds on extremities, such as, for example, feet, ankles, lower part of the arms, arms, hands. The cover device may have a water vapor permeable sheet hose that can be inserted at the end. The tubular covering device is pulled over the end and positioned in relation to the wound, which is covered with the dense covering device. Then, the covering device can be attached with the adhesive sheet to the skin adjacent to the wound. For this, the adhesive sheet is removed from a roll in order to wrap one end of the hose (or flexible tube), so that the tape adheres on the one hand, on the hose, on the other hand, on the skin.
[0017] The installation of the device can be simplified when the leaf hose is particularly hermetically closed at an axial end in order to form a stocking-like arrangement. This can be done by welding (ultrasound, heat, RF) or by gluing (such as with a polyurethane adhesive, thermoactive adhesive and / or tape). The covering device must only be waterproofed on one side by means of an adhesive sheet bandage.
[0018] In the sense of a simpler application, the covering device has, appropriately, a coefficient of friction in an interval measuring between 0.7 and 1.2 in accordance with ASTM 1894-08. Thus, it is possible to achieve sufficient support of the covering device, if the coefficient of adhesive friction is between 0.8 and 1.5, especially preferred, measuring between 1 and 1.25, in accordance with ASTM 1894-08. In this context, it has proven to be more than appropriate when the elongation at break of the covering device is greater than 100%.
[0019] The application of the covering device on the wound of the presented extremity can be further simplified, when the covering device is often thin, after application on the wound, a support device removable from the wound, particularly a foil. support. The backing sheet assigned to the covering device can, depending on the case, be produced from transparent polyester or materials composed of more layers (for example, polyester core, coated polyethylene on both sides) and be attached to the cover device. sheet-like coverage through a lamination process. After inserting the disinfected wound end into the covering device and before waterproofing using adhesive sheet bandages, the backing sheet must be removed to ensure that the therapy is successful.
[0020] The suction connector of a wound treatment arrangement according to the invention has a suction opening for the use of the wound space and a connection device, preferably as a tube support, for make the connection between the suction opening and a suction hose, where the tube support is arranged on the side away from the suction connector of the wound space. Thus, the suction opening can push a flange-shaped contact area of the suction connector, where the contact area preferably has a circular suction opening and is preferably equipped with an adhesive fastening area, with which the suction connector can be glued to a boundary surface away from the wound space of the covering device. Alternatively, the contact area can also be covered at least in part by the covering device.
The sheet hose of a wound treatment arrangement according to the invention may have a through hole prepared to establish a connection between the subsequent suction hose in the tube support and the wound space. This, however, made the conditioned position of the dressing device in the wound space more difficult. Therefore, in the context of the invention, it is especially preferable that the leaf hose is completely closed in the circumferential direction and has only at least one axial opening, through which the end can be inserted into the hose, in which the assigned through hole of the suction opening of the suction connector is established in the leaf hose only after application to the wound, where the leaf hose can be cut, for example, and the through hole in use is appropriately surrounded the suction connector fixing area.
[0022] Below, the usable suction connectors are described in detail, with special advantage, in the context of the invention:
[0023] In the sense of a particularly simple application of the wound treatment arrangement of the present invention, it has proved to be convenient, when the planned drainage layer is fixed, as appropriate, to the contact surface, particularly glued, fused on the surface. contact surface, is stapled and / or sewn to the contact surface. The general device, consisting of the suction connector and drainage layer, can then be positioned as a whole in the desired location, on the filling material, respectively, on the covering device.
[0024] As previously explained according to the invention of the demonstrated cover devices, it was shown that vacuum therapy further improved the healing process with the generation of negative pressure and a continuous and simultaneous entry of air into the space wound. Therefore, an arrangement for the treatment of wounds, according to an especially preferred pattern of the invention, has a suction connector, which presents, next to it, a used suction opening for aspirating the exudate and also a contact surface, particularly in the flange shape, arranged in the suction connector for wound ventilation through an auxiliary ventilation opening. A continuous entry of air into the wound space made possible by the ventilation opening causes a controlled and continuous pressure drop when connecting a suction device to the suction opening. In this way, the removal of exudate can be improved, in particular, in relation to the use of a water vapor permeable covering device. The pump used for the exudate suction produces a higher flow and a better suction. The pump operates frequently and sucks better.
[0025] To avoid contamination of the wound, an antibacterial filter is appropriately assigned to the ventilation opening, which can be arranged in the ventilation opening or cover it. The filter is suitably hydrophobic and has a pore size of 0.001, in particular 0.005, preferably 0.02, especially preferred, 0.1 to 5 micrometers for preserving the desired filter effect. The desired ventilation is impaired by pore sizes less than 0.001 micrometers. The antibacterial effect is hardly achieved with a pore size greater than 5 micrometers. The filter material may contain, in particular, polytetrafluoroethylene. The air flow in the wound space is also affected by the choice of the pore size of the filter, causing such a reduction in the pores to lead to a reduction in the air intake.
[0026] In addition or as an alternative to the ventilation opening, the wound treatment device may also have a multi-lumen hose assigned to the suction opening, which, in particular, can contain three lumens, which are used, one for exudate aspiration , another for controlling the air supply and a third for measuring pressure directly on the wound. Through the use of the multilumen hose, the suction effect can be improved without the need for structural changes to the suction connector. However, the suction effect is enhanced by the use of an additional ventilation opening. A further improvement is possible when the auxiliary tube support has a corresponding number of lumens in the multilumen hose as a connection device.
[0027] In the sense of an ideal wound treatment without the removal of a provision for wound treatment, it has proved to be convenient that the suction connector also has an imposed and disposable feeding opening in addition to the suction opening. suitable shape in the contact area for feeding a wound care product, which, in an especially preferred pattern of the invention, another connection device can be assigned on the far side of the suction connector from the contact surface - like another hose support - to make a connection between the supply opening and a supply hose. A rinse solution, for example, can be inserted over the feeding opening in the wound space, if necessary, with medications, disinfectants, etc. The feed opening can be covered like the suction opening of the drainage layer. However, it is especially preferred, in the context of the invention, that this opening is not covered by the drainage layer, to improve the diffusion of the rinse solution in the injured area.
[0028] To further improve the management of the exudate, the wound treatment device of the present invention may have a contact layer between the wound base and the disposable filling material, determined by the lateral drainage of the wound.
[0029] In the context of the invention, it has proved to be especially advantageous that the drainage layer and / or the contact layer, according to the wound coverings according to the patent document DE 10 2009 019 646 A1, have two elements in the form of a strip and course approximately parallel to each other, between which a drainage area is formed, the depth of which in a direction of extended depth more or less vertical with respect to the strip-shaped element guarantees a capillary effect on the absorbed exudate in the drainage space. The depth of the drainage area can be about 5 mm or less and 0.5 mm or more. Thus, each of the elements in it presents, in an appropriate way, an opening that allows the drainage of the space for the passage of the secretion, in which, at least, an opening is formed that extends from one of the elements in the form of a band in the direction of the internal boundary surface opposite the other band-shaped element and in the channel that de-semboca in the drainage space, whose wall is integrally executed with the band-shaped element, particularly, formed through the perforation of the same.
[0030] In the sense of a particular and pronounced capillary effect, it proved to be favorable, when the cross-sectional surface of the channel extends in a vertical plane towards the depth, starting from the band-shaped element, towards the limit surface positioned on the other side, particularly to receive a favorable capillary effect entry, which decreases the entry of body fluidity into the drainage space. Thus, the strip-shaped element can at least comprise a multiplicity of openings preferably in the form of a grid, in which the distance between neighboring openings corresponds to 15 mm or smaller, preferably 5 mm or smaller, in particular 3 mm or smaller, and the confluences of the openings arranged in a strip-shaped element, in a longitudinal projection towards the depth between the confluences of the arranged openings are arranged in relation to another strip-shaped element, in which at least one channel extends towards at depth greater than 50% or more of the total depth of the drain space.
[0031] The channel wall is executed in an extended cutting plane parallel towards the depth, in the form of an arc at least in sections, in which the channels form the opening, and continuously exceeds the fixation surface of the elements in the form of range. The other characteristics, as defined in the invention, referring to contact and / or drainage layers are indicated in document No. DE 2009 2009 019 646 A1, content of which is incorporated in this description through express reference.
[0032] When the drainage layer only partially covers the contact surface of the suction connector, where at least preferably the suction opening and filter are covered, and a fixing area that surrounds the drainage layer on the surface of contact of the suction connector is provided, the suction connector can be glued to this fixation area on the cover device. For this purpose, the suction connector fixing area can be provided with an appropriate glue. Alternatively, double-sided adhesive tape can also be used instead of glue. The adhesive material (for example, acrylate, Silicone, polyurethane) can be fixed partially (for example, in rings) porous or entirely. The adhesive tape can also be fixed partially (for example, in rings) or entirely. The double-sided adhesive tape can, in addition, be coated on both sides with the same adhesive material (for example, acrylate, Silicone, polyurethane), or the two sides can be coated with two different adhesive materials (in particular on the side top, in contact with the contact surface 12, silicone adhesive and on the bottom side with acrylate adhesive). Both the adhesive material and the adhesive tape can be provided with a removable protective layer.
[0033] When the drainage layer completely covers the contact surface of the suction connector, the covering device constructed in the form of a film, for example, can be glued on a contact surface and the connection device executed, for example, in the form of a tubular support, away from the attachment area surrounding the suction connector.
[0034] As in the wound care arrangements known for use in vacuotherapy, the wound care arrangement filler material as defined by the invention may comprise a porous foam or gauze.
[0035] As can be seen from the previous explanations regarding the wound care provisions, a dressing device as defined in the invention for use in a wound treatment arrangement is essentially distinguished by the fact that the dressing device comprises a permeability of water vapor, preferably 300 g / m2 / 24 h or more, in which the covering device can be made of polyurethane film, in particular as a film hose with dimensions suitable for human extremities. The polyurethane film of a covering device as defined in the invention is preferably impermeable, biocompatible and comprises a thickness between 0.5 and 200 μm, in particular between 1 and 100 m. The water vapor permeability objectively corresponds to less than 2,000 g / m2 / 24 h, particularly less than 1,500 g / m2 / 24 h. The elongation at break for a covering device as defined in the invention can be greater than 100%; where the coefficient of static friction is in the range between 0.7 and 1.2. A wound care provision can be employed as follows:
[0036] A wound positioned at one end is routed to a usual low pressure therapy bandage device and respectively after placing or applying a filler material to the wound respectively, a hose-shaped cover sheet is placed; so that the entire wound space is covered by covering the edges of the wound. The sheet, taking into account its ability to yield, is dimensioned objectively, in which it is arranged close to the edges of the wound firmly respectively without gaps. The length of the hose-shaped sheet can be adapted to the size of the wound by cutting. The hose-shaped sheet can also be supplied as an endless hose and can be made locally by cutting. The covered sheet and cover sheet through the filler material are bonded around the skin, at its two axial ends sealing the wound, by means of sheets in adhesive strips usual in the market, such as, for example, Handelsnamen Suprasorb F by Lohmann & Rauscher GmbH Thus the sheets in adhesive strips are arranged in such a way that they adhere on one side to the cover sheet and on the other to the skin. Due to the use of water vapor permeable covering devices in the scope of the wound area, a complete sealing of the wound space with adhesive strip sheets is avoided. This contributes to a healing of the wound. The cover sheet can be placed before and during positioning with respect to the wound on a support sheet. The support sheet must, after introducing the disinfected end and before the sealing of adhesive sheets is released; be guaranteed by an efficient therapeutic procedure. As long as the film hose is used as a covering device in the preparation at one of its closed axial ends, in a blunt manner, for example, by welding or by glue. The film hose will be connected with the wound surrounding the skin, only at a sealed axial end.
[0037] The invention is explained below, with reference to the drawing, with a view to all the details relevant to the invention, not emphasized and clearly presented in the description. The drawings show:
[0038] in Figure 1 a suction connector of a wound treatment arrangement as defined in the invention, according to a first embodiment;

[0043] in Figure 6 an arrangement for treating wounds with a suction connector according to Figure 5;
[0044] in Figure 7 a suction connector of a wound treatment arrangement as defined in the invention, according to a fifth embodiment;
[0045] in Figure 8 an arrangement for treating wounds with a suction connector as shown in Figure 7, and
[0046] in Figure 9 a suction connector of a wound treatment arrangement as defined in the invention, according to a sixth embodiment;
[0047] in Figure 10 modalities of dressing devices as defined in the invention for wound care arrangements as defined in the invention, and
[0048] in Figure 11 Examples of application of a wound treatment arrangement as defined in the invention.
[0049] In Figure 1a) a bottom view of a suction connector 10 of a wound treatment arrangement as defined in the invention is shown, in Figure 1b) a top view of the suction connector 10 is shown in Figure 1a) and in Figure 1c) a cross section of a suction connector 10 as defined in the invention is shown.
[0050] The suction connector 10 shown in Figure 1 comprises a flange-like contact area 11 with a circular disc shape, a flat contact surface 12, without projections. The contact surface 12 has a through suction opening 14. The circular opening suction opening 14 is also arranged in the center of the contact surface 12. The suction opening 14 opens in a connection device 20, which is made in in the form of a tubular support and which acts as a vertical articulation in relation to the contact surface 12 directing flows of exudate at 90 °, so that flows are directed as articulation parallel to the contact surface 12. The tubular support 20 comprises an area connector 22 at its extended end of the suction opening 14 with an elongated internal diameter, to which a hermetically sealed suction hose 30 is fitted. Through this articulation, the suction flow with the assistance of the tubular support 20 makes it possible to direct the suction hose 30 in a direction parallel to the contact surface 12. This makes it possible to connect the suction connector with a low level of failure. 10 and the suction hose 30 connected thereto, to the patient's body.
[0051] The modality shown in Figure 1c) has a suction hose 30 that is dimensioned in such a way that its internal boundary surface is aligned with a limited internal surface area next to the limiting connection area of the tubular support 20, in order to minimize resistance to the flow of wound exudate.
[0052] In the mode as shown in Figure 2a) there is a drainage layer 40 disposed, in which the suction opening 14 contained in a central area of the contact surface 12, to induce the exudate of the wound to the suction opening 14. The layer drainage column 40 is glued to the contact surface 12 and is surrounded by a ring-shaped fixing area 16 on the contact surface 12.
[0053] In the embodiment according to Figure 2b), the contact surface 12 is completely covered by the drainage layer 40. From the contact surface 12 directed to the limit surface of the suction connector 10, a fixing area 16 'is arranged around the tubular support 20, to which in the same way as the fixing area 16 can be applied a layer of glue, which before using the suction connection 10 can be covered by a release layer of protection, in a disposition for treating wounds, as defined in the invention.
[0054] The suction connector according to Figure 3 differs essentially from the suction connector according to Figures 1 and 2, in that it comprises the contact area 11 in addition to a suction opening 14 and also a ventilation opening 80, through which the wound can have controlled ventilation, and thus improve the proportions of the flow in the wound space in the sense of an improvement in the exudate discharge. The ventilation opening 80 comprises a larger diameter than the suction opening 14. The surrounding edge on the contact surface 1 can comprise a recess in the ventilation opening 80, which according to Figures 4 and 5 can be used as an antibacterial filter 82 with the contact surface. This increases the flow resistance in the area of the ventilation opening 80, which, however, can be compensated for again by adjusting the diameter of the ventilation opening 80.
[0055] Within the scope of the invention, the flow resistance of the filter 82 can be exploited to control the air flow. Thus, the flow resistance is increased by decreasing the pores of the filter. This control favors the generation of negative pressure in simultaneous ventilation. If the ventilation opening 80 is chosen too large, the negative pressure cannot be generated without the use of a filter. The ventilation opening 80 can also be arranged through a cover sheet with water vapor permeability (in top view). It is important that air is conveyed to the wound. It may be coherent to provide a somewhat displaced hole in the cover sheet 60, so that the air can flow unimpeded through the ventilation opening 80.
[0056] The antibacterial filter 82 shown in the modality of the modality is composed of polytetrafluoroethylene and comprises a pore size in the range of 0.001, in particular 0.005, preferably 0.02, particularly preferably 0.1 to 5 micrometers. In the wound treatment arrangement as shown in Figures 6a and 6b, it is covered by the drainage layer 40. As explained on the basis of Figure 4, the suction connector as shown in Figure 1 can be mounted in such a way that it sticks to a sheet of coverage 60.
[0057] The mode as shown in Figure 5 differs essentially from the mode as shown in Figure 3, in which the suction hose is designed as a three-lumen hose 32, in which, as schematically indicated in Figure 6, the intermediate and largest lumen 34 are used for generate negative pressure in the wound space, a smaller lumen 36 can be used for wound ventilation and another lumen even smaller 38 was thought to measure the pressure in the wound space. The connection area 22 also comprises the lumen 32, 34 and 36 corresponding to the lumen 24, 26 and 28.
[0058] The mode according to figures 5 and 6 includes, next to the ventilation lumen 26, also a ventilation opening 80, to continue improving the exudate management.
[0059] The mode as shown in Figure 7 differs essentially from the mode as shown in Figure 3, in which in addition to the suction opening 14 and the ventilation opening 80, also a supply opening 100 is also arranged in the contact area 11 of the suction connector, when which another tubular support 110 is assigned to connect the feed opening 100 with another hose 130. Through the hose 130, the other tubular support 110 and the feed opening can take means of treatment for the wound into the wound space as, for example, in a given situation, moving a rinse solution also with medications, disinfection means. The mode as shown in Figure 7 can also be used without using a separate ventilation opening 80, because the supply opening 100 can also be used for ventilation. In the sense of good management of the exudate, however, it has been proven to be particularly coherent, when both a ventilation opening 80 and a supply opening 100 are arranged next to the suction opening 14 in the contact area 11 of the suction connector. .
[0060] As can be recognized in Figure 8, the rinse solution can be conducted to the wound space through another hose 130 and another suction support 110 with the help of a corresponding dosing element 114. This proved to be particularly suitable, when the feed opening 100 is not covered by the drainage layer 40, so that the suction of the wound exudate without influence through the introduced rinse solution ensures, and to prevent the rinse solution introduced it is not immediately aspirated again.
[0061] The modality as shown in Figure 9 differs from the modality explained based on Figure 7, in which a three-lumen hose 132 is used, the execution of which and the function of the execution is comparable according to Figure 5. In this sense, the execution as Figure 9 shows a three-lumen hose for suctioning exudate from the wound, ventilation of the wound space and for pressure measurement, a ventilation opening 80 as well as a feeding opening 100. This way, optimal wound management can be guaranteed.
[0062] The modalities explained on the basis of Figures 3 to 9 comprise differently as the modalities explained on the basis of Figures 1 and 2 a contact surface with a diamond shape with a divergent circular shape. The edges of the diamond are rounded. Through the diamond shape, a longitudinal (geometric) axis is prepared, which allows the suction opening, breathing opening and conduction opening on a line to be available.
[0063] The cover device shown in Figure 10a) was made in the form of an Auchs 200 ski sheet, which can take the form of a circular cylinder blanket. The two ends 210 and 212 of the Auchs ski sheet shown in Figure 10a) were made open; so that the hose can be pulled completely through one end. The cover device as defined in the invention, as shown in Figure 10b) differs essentially from the cover device as in Figure 10a), in which the upper end 210 of the hollow hose 200 is closed.
[0064] In the mode according to Figure 10c), the covering device was made as a film hose in the form of a conical blanket, therefore conically propagable. Thus, one end can be closed, for example, the top end 310, while the other, like the bottom end 312, can be created open. In particular, it is preferred that the end with the smallest cross-section is closed. The film hose can then be wedged as a sock over a foot or as the case may be, like a glove in a hand.
[0065] In Figure 11 are shown several examples of application of provisions for treating wounds as defined in the invention. Figure 11a) shows the application in the knee joint area. It can be recognized that the covering device in the manner shown in Figure 10c) or 10a), the covering device was made in the form of a hose with both sides open and the opposite side placed with the aid of an adhesive medium, fixed to the skin. surrounding.
[0066] In the application example according to Figure 11b) the provision for wound treatment was used on an ankle. The covering device in this example was made in the form of an Auchs ski sheet, which was attached to the user's calf area, on the surrounding skin.
[0067] Finally, the disposition for treatment of wounds shown in Figure 11c represents an example of the application on a patient's forearm. In this example, the cover device was made as an open film hose on both sides; in which the film hose in correspondence with the representation in Figure 10c) was made conical and fixed by adhesion on the two opposite edges, surrounding the skin.
[0068] The invention is not limited to the modalities demonstrated through the drawing. In particular, it was thought about the application of cover sheets in the form of a hose, which in certain situations can also be put on as support sheets, in which the support sheets after placing the cover sheets in the wound, can be released from the sheet. coverage. Thus, completely closed hose sheets are used objectively in the surrounding direction, which comprise an opening in at least one of its axial ends, in which the necessary opening for exudate discharge through the suction connector is formed in the hose sheet after placement. of the hose sheet on the wound. For this purpose, the hose sheet can, for example, be opened by cutting at a certain point. In addition to polyurethane sheets, other sheets tolerated by human skin and permeable to water vapor can be used. It is important that the covering device limits mainly to the closed and tightly sealed wound space; an appropriate water vapor permeability is germ-proof, biocompatible and tolerated by the skin, as well as cutable and, depending on the case, can be used with an additional support sheet.
