NEGATIVE PRESSURE THERAPY SYSTEM WITH HEAT-MOLDABLE SPLINT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240041632 titled 'NEGATIVE PRESSURE THERAPY SYSTEM WITH HEAT-MOLDABLE SPLINT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a kit for negative pressure and immobilization therapy. It includes a negative pressure dressing that forms a sealed volume between a patient's skin and the dressing when applied. A pump is connected to the dressing to displace air from the sealed volume. Additionally, the kit includes a heat-moldable splint made of flexible tubes formed of a first material and coupled together to form a web. The splint also contains a second material with a lower softening or melting point than the first material.

  • The kit includes a negative pressure dressing that creates a sealed volume between the patient's skin and the dressing.
  • A pump is used to remove air from the sealed volume, creating negative pressure.
  • The kit also includes a heat-moldable splint made of flexible tubes and a second material with a lower softening or melting point.
  • The splint can be shaped and molded to provide immobilization and support to the patient.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Negative pressure and immobilization therapy for wound healing and tissue regeneration.
  • Treatment of fractures and orthopedic injuries.
  • Post-surgical immobilization and support.
  • Rehabilitation and physical therapy.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Provides a sealed environment for negative pressure therapy, enhancing wound healing and tissue regeneration.
  • Offers customizable and moldable immobilization support for various injuries and conditions.
  • Facilitates proper alignment and stabilization of fractures and orthopedic injuries.
  • Allows for easy adjustment and modification of the splint as needed.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved wound healing and tissue regeneration due to the sealed negative pressure environment.
  • Enhanced patient comfort and support with the heat-moldable splint.
  • Customizable and adaptable to different patient needs and conditions.
  • Simplifies the application and management of negative pressure and immobilization therapy.


Original Abstract Submitted

a kit () for negative pressure and immobilization therapy includes a negative pressure dressing () configured to define a sealed volume between a patient's skin and the negative pressure dressing when applied to the patient, a pump () configured to be placed in pneumatic communication with the negative pressure dressing and operable to displace air from the sealed volume, and a heat-moldable splint (). the heat-moldable splint includes a plurality of flexible tubes formed of a first material and coupled together to form a web and a second material positioned in the flexible tubes and having a lower softening or melting point than the first material.
