Abstract
A drainage device for the treatment of wounds using reduced pressure, includes (a) a gas-type wound-covering element, which is fastened cohesively at the skin surface around the region of the wound and forms a sealed wound space, remaining between the respective wound and the wound-covering element; (b) at least one drainage tube, which can be connected to a device generating reduced pressure and can be inserted into the wound space approximately parallel to the wound-covering element; and (c) at least one absorption body in the form of at least one layer of a textile section, which is interspersed with super-absorbing particles and enclosed in an envelope. Due to the size of the pores of the envelope, the absorbed wound secretions remain within the absorption body and underneath the wound-covering element until the absorption body is removed from the wound space. An air opening is provided for the wound-covering element.
Description
- The present invention is a continuation-in-part of co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 11/791,058 filed on Jul. 5, 2007, which is the national stage of PCT/EP2005/011702, filed on Nov. 2, 2005, which claims the benefit of
German application 20 2004 018 245.9, filed on Nov. 24, 2004, the contents of all of the foregoing applications are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. - The invention relates to a drainage device for treating wounds using a reduced pressure, comprising: a gas-tight wound-covering element, which consists of a sheet-like material and, when placed in contact with the body of the patient, is fastened adhesively to the surface of the skin about the region of the wound, forming a sealed, wound space remaining between the respective wound and the wound-covering element, and at least one drainage tube, which can be connected to a means, such as a vacuum pump, for producing the reduced pressure and can be inserted prone into the wound space approximately parallel to the wound-covering element and over which the materials in the wound space can be evacuated, and at least one absorption body, which is disposed in the wound space and absorbs the wound secretions.
- A device of the type named above is known from the DE 195 17 699. The known device has a covering sheet for covering the wound flat and closing it off air-tight, so that a wound space, into which an insert of a foam material and a drainage hose, which is pulled into this insert, are inserted, is formed underneath the covering sheet in the region of the wound. With the help of the insert of foam material, the wound secretions are to be withdrawn uniformly over the whole of the wound surface. A collecting container with a vacuum pump for producing the reduced pressure is, in turn, connected to the drainage tube. The whole device is disposed of when the collecting container is filled with wound secretion. The purpose of the disposable device is to pass the wound secretions continuously through the drainage tube into the collecting container.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,549,584 shows a device for vacuum treatments, which consists of a wound cover, a membrane pump, which is disposed at the suction tube, and a pouch-like collector, which is connected downstream from the membrane pump. A layer of material or a loose bed of liquid-absorbing fibers, which rest on a perforated layer and under which a further adhesive layer, in turn, is placed, is disposed underneath the wound covering. Furthermore, the fibers are covered by a liquid-permeable upper layer, which has several windows. Beneath each window, there is a section of material, which is also permeable to liquids. The suction tube is connected with a connecting piece, which is disposed above the wound cover, and does not have any direct contact with the absorption material, which is located within the wound space. The device, so designed, seems complicated and expensive to produce.
- The DE 299 53 373 C2 also discloses a device, which uses reduced pressure for the treatment of wounds and comprises a wound-covering element, a foam material insert underneath the wound-covering element and at least one flexible conduit, which communicates with the pores of the foam material insert. In the DE 38 50 798 T2, a sterile, rectangular, yet rigid cassette, in which a surgical dressing is accommodated, is shown. The lower edge of the cassette is fastened to the skin of the patient. For enclosing the surgical field at the patient, the cassette is open at the top and at the bottom.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,086,763 A discloses a cassette-like wound-treating device, which is also fastened to the skin of the patient. An exchangeable wound dressing is placed at the underside of a swiveling lid.
- A pouch-like wound-treating and wound drainage device, known from AT E33 446 B, has a lower, peripheral edge, by which it may be glued to the skin of a patient, a catheter holder, two treatment openings with caps, which are disposed at an upper wall, as well as an opening at the lower wall of the pouch for enabling access to the wound. The publication describes only the construction of the pouch.
- It is an object of the invention to design a cost-effective device for the vacuum treatment of wounds, the design of which is simplified.
- This objective is accomplished by a device of the type named above, for which the absorption body is at least one textile section, in which super-absorbing particles are interspersed and which is enclosed in an envelope, the envelope being permeable to liquids and having pores, the size of which essentially does not exceed that of the super-absorbing particles, the absorption body, which is to be inserted in the wound space, having an initial volume, which enlarges in the course of the absorption process and assumes a final volume, so that the absorbed wound secretions, due to the size of the pores of the envelope, remain within the absorption body and, with that, below the wound-covering element until the absorption body is removed from the wound space.
- The wound-covering element may be fastened over a flexible connecting plate, the so-called base plate, to the body of the patient. One or more openings, which are fitted to the wound area(s), are cut from the base plate before it is glued to the skin. It is, however, possible to do without the base plate, if a peripheral adhesive surface is applied, provided that the adhesive substance is harmless and an appropriate connection site for introducing the drainage hose is provided at the wound-covering element. However, a conventional commercial wound-repair pouch with a gas-tight treatment window and a drain, the side wall of which, opposite to the wound-covering element, is glued to the connection plate at the factory, is preferred.
- It is important that at least one absorption body, which is enriched with super-absorbents and can be exchanged, and one drainage hose, which rests on the absorption body, are disposed within the wound-repair pouch.
- The drainage tube may, however, also lie between two absorption bodies, which have the same or a different suction force and form a sandwich arrangement. For the sandwich arrangement, an absorption body, enriched with super-absorbents, and an additional absorption body, which is not provided with super-absorbents, such as a flat, open-pored foam body, may be used. Different possibilities are provided here, namely, a sandwich arrangement, for which the foam body lies between the connecting plate and the absorption body, enriched with super-absorbents, or between the wound-covering element and the absorption body, which is enriched with super-absorbents.
- An optimum wound-healing process can be “programmed” by the selection of absorption bodies and their suction force.
- The enveloped absorption body and/or the additional and/or the additional foam-like absorption body and/or the adhesive film element may be provided with silver-, copper- or zinc-containing substances, for example, in nanocrystalline form, in order to kill germs.
- Without restricting the scope of the present invention, the term “super absorbents” as used herein, includes, but is not limited to:
-
- polyacrylates, particularly sodium polyacrylates and copolymers thereof, including those in crosslinked form;
- derivatives of cellulose, which for example may include, but are not limited to, (a) sulfoalkylated celluloses and derivatives, including cellulose ethyl sulfonate; (b) carboxyalkylated cellulose, for example carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxyethyl cellulose and/or carboxypropyl cellulose; (c) more complex derivatives of cellulose, for example sulphoethyl carboxymethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose, hydroxy-propyl-methyl cellulose, and the like; and/or (d) amidated derivatives of cellulose, for example carboxymethyl cellulose amide or carboxypropyl cellulose amide;
- alginates;
- hydrogel nanoparticles including hydroxy-terminated methacrylate monomers, for example 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) and/or 2-hydroxypropylmethacrylate (HPMA), marketed, e.g., as Altrazeal™; and
- mixtures thereof.
- All these materials can be used in form of fibers, particles, yarns, sponges, textiles, sheets and/or beads.
- In some embodiments, the
absorption body 2 may also contain compounds for the modulation of proteases, for example collagenases, elastases and matrix metal proteases (MMPs). Without restricting the scope of the present invention, such compounds may be selected from, but are not limited to, the group consisting of collagen, super absorbent polymers, or specific protease inhibitors. - In some embodiments, the
absorption body 2 may also contain compounds for inducing hemostasis (arrest of bleeding). Without restricting the scope of the present invention, such compounds may be selected from, but are not limited to, the group consisting of gelatine, collagen, oxidized regenerated celluloses, and pharmaceutical hemostatics. - In some embodiments, the
absorption body 2 may also contain antimicrobial compounds. Without restricting the scope of the present invention, such compounds may be selected from, but are not limited to, the group consisting silver or silver ions, octenidin, iodine-based compounds, bacteriostatics, chlorine-based compounds, primary and secondary quorum sensing inhibitors, polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB), di-alkyl carbamoyl chloride (DACC), and lysing agents for exopolysaccharides. - It is also important that the area of the textile section of the absorption body, enriched with super-absorbent particles, is significantly smaller that that of the envelope, so that the absorption body, without being impeded in its cross section, can approach a circular form. The full utilization of the maximum or almost maximum filling capacity of the absorption body contributes to lowering the costs of treating the wound.
- The wound-covering element may be transparent at least over a portion of its surface, so that the state of the wound-healing process may be observed. The drainage device may be provided with a liquid permeable, mucous membrane compatible protective element, which is disposed on a side of the absorption body, opposite to the wound-covering element and the surface area of which is approximately equal to that of the enveloped absorption body. The protective element may also be produced from a soft, open cell foam material or a very loose nonwoven fabric. Finally, the protective element may also be a loose bed of pieces of a nonwoven material or of a foam underneath the absorption body. At the end of the absorption process, these pieces are removed from the wound, for example with forceps. Moreover, a voluminous formation fulfills not only the function of protecting the mucous membrane, but also that of an absorber. The open cell foam or the nonwoven material may have pores, which are several times larger than those of the envelope, so that the larger particles of wound exudate may be taken up.
- If the device is glued to the body of the patient, the reduced pressure in the wound space beneath the wound-covering element can be produced manually or mechanically or electrically. A most simple manual production of vacuum can be brought about, for example, with the help of a so called scissors grip vacuum pump or a known rubber bellows (“ball pump”), which can be compressed by hand. Different conventional, commercial vacuum pumps, which can be supplied, for example, together with a tube and a pressure regulator, are suitable for producing a vacuum electrically.
- For an in-patient, for example, post-operative treatment of a wound, the reduced pressure can be produced by connecting the drainage device to an existing, stationary vacuum installation, optionally by way of a pressure regulator.
- In a plan view of its flat side, the device may be polygonal, oval or circular or it may also be pouch-shaped, similar to the known wound-repair pouches.
- The envelope consists of a liquid-permeable, mucous membrane-compatible natural material or plastic, to which the wound secretions adhere hardly, if at all. This enables liquid wound secretions to be transported into the absorption material. The wound secretions pass through the envelope and are absorbed by the absorption material, which has been enriched with super-absorbents.
- Advantageously, a peripheral overhang of envelope material is provided at the envelope of the absorption body, so that any painful contact of the relative hard seam with the surface of the wound can be limited or even avoided. The envelope material a peripheral seam and the outer extent of the envelope is understood to be the overhang here.
- The envelope of the absorption body many be provided with pulling means, so that the consumed, swollen absorption body can be pulled more easily out of the wound region.
- The envelope, as well as the absorption material within the envelope may be provided with an odor-inhibiting and/or odor-neutralizing or odor-masking additive, such as activated charcoal.
- It is of great advantage that, during the evacuation of the gases, wound secretion particles are not carried along. These remain within the envelope of the absorption body until the whole device is removed from the body of the patient and disposed of or until the swollen absorption body is exchanged. Overall, a device is created for the treatment of wounds using a reduced pressure, for which the wound secretions are aspirated by the nonwoven material of the absorption body, which is interspersed with super absorber, and remain within the envelope surrounding the absorption body without getting back from the envelope into the covered wound space. As the absorption increases, the cross sectional area of the absorption body increases greatly by a multiple and approaches a circular shape. Essentially, no wound secretions are carried along while the reduced pressure is being maintained with the help of a vacuum pump, which can be connected to the device, that is, when evacuating gases. Moreover, it is possible to do without an additional collecting container. If an excess of wound secretion is to be drained off, it is advisable to connect the drainage tube over a check valve to a collecting container, which, in turn, is connected upstream from a vacuum pump with a pressure manometer. In this case, the exchangeable absorption body acts as an intermediate storage device for the secretions emerging from the wound.
- The inventive drainage device can also be used for compression therapy, for example, for the treatment of open legs.

FIGS. 1 and 2 a to 2 d show adrainage device 100 for the treatment of wounds using a reduced pressure is shown, comprising a rectangular and a sheet-like, transparent wound-covering 3, a connectingplate 10 of a hydrocolloidlike material, between which there is anabsorption body 2, and adrainage tube 4. An opening 11 (compareFIG. 2 a), the size of which corresponds to that of the wound, is cut out of the connectingplate 10, so that, when thedevice 100 is glued to the skin of the patient, a gas-tight wound space 5 results in the region of the wound (compareFIG. 2 b). Aperipheral edge 25 of the wound-coveringelement 3 is glued firmly to the connectingplate 10. - The gas-
tight wound space 5 is thus bounded by the wound surface, thewound covering element 3 and the inner edge of theopening 11 at the connecting plate. This wound space has a variable volume, since the wound-coveringelement 3 is not tensioned. The wound space, if it is considered as a reduced pressure space, also includes the interior of thedrainage tube 4 up to the obstruction element, such as thecheck valve 17, shown diagrammatically inFIG. 5 . - The
drainage tube 4 is pushed over anenvelope piece 22, which is disposed at the edge of the wound-coveringelement 3, and under the wound covering element and rests on theabsorption body 2, without contacting the wound surface. - Furthermore, at each of its two flat sides, the connecting
plate 10 has aprotective film 19, 24, of, which theprotective film 19, facing the later wound region, can be pulled off. The other protective film 24 is finished to be adhesive on the side facing the wound-coveringelement 3. - The
absorption body 2 is a layer 7 (compareFIG. 2 a) of atextile section 33, which is enriched with super-absorbents and surrounded by the liquid-permeable envelope 6. Theenvelope 6 has aperipheral overhang 9 of material at its periphery, the area of thelayer 7 being about 40% smaller than that of theenvelope 11. - A
drainage device 200, similar to the one described above, is sharing inFIGS. 3 and 5 . For thisdrainage device 200, thewound covering element 3 is part of a known wound-repair pouch 13 with aneck 27, the side wall 8 (compareFIG. 5 ) of which, opposite the wound-coveringelement 3, is glued rigidly to thehydrocolloidal connecting plate 10, anoutline 26 of the wound-repair pouch, placed flat, protruding beyond the connecting plate. Theflat absorption body 2 is accommodated in the interior of the wound-repair pouch 13, which is glued to the skin of the patient. Thewound contour 28 is outlined with aline 28 of dashes. -
FIG. 4 a shows thedrainage device 200 in the section A-A ofFIG. 3 . Asandwich arrangement 20 of two absorption bodies 2.1, 2.2, between which thedrainage tube 4 is located, is a special feature of this embodiment.FIG. 4 b also shows a sandwich arrangement, for which anadditional absorption body 32, which is not provided with super-absorbents, is located between the wound-coveringelement 3 and theabsorption body 2, which is enriched with super-absorbents. InFIG. 4 c, once again a sandwich arrangement is shown, for which theadditional absorption body 32 is located between the connectingplate 10 and theabsorption body 2, which is enriched with super-absorbents. In the last two cases, thedrainage tube 4 is disposed between theabsorption bodies 2; 32, which differ from one another. The additional super-absorber-free absorption body 32 is present in the form of an open pore foam body. - A relatively wide,
round treatment opening 12, through which theabsorption body 2 or theadditional absorption body 32 can be placed in or removed from thewound space 5, is incorporated at thewound covering element 3. Thetreatment opening 12 can be closed off gas-tied with a swivelinglid 23. Anair opening 34, which is disposed in the center of the swivelinglid 23 and with which the reduced pressure can be regulated and adjusted in such a manner, that there may be a draft of air within the wound space during the suction process, is shown diagrammatically inFIG. 1 .FIGS. 6 a and 6 b show adrainage device 300, which is essentially similar to that shown inFIG. 1 . The difference consists therein that the perforated part of thedrainage tube 4 underneath the wound-coveringelement 3 is forked. Astable pressure distributor 40 results in this way, since the two branches 41.1, 41.2 rest on the 15absorption body 2 and press against a reinforcedrim 42 of the swivelinglid 23. - A
different pressure distributor 43 is present in the form of a flat, open cell foam piece 44 (compareFIG. 4 c). The foam piece 44 is hardly compressible and therefore retains its thickness, which defines a required distance A between the wound-coveringelement 3 and theabsorption body 2. - In addition, a sterile, air-tight packaging (not shown) is provided for the device.
- Function (see
FIGS. 2 a to 2 d and 5): - A
deep wound 29 is covered completely by gluing the drainage device (100) ofFIG. 1 to the skin of the patient. Previously, anopening 11 was cut out of the connectingplate 10 and, after that, theprotective film 19, shown inFIG. 2 a, was removed, so that anadhesive surface 30 at the underside of the connectingplate 10 is exposed. - To begin with, the mucous membrane-compatible, perforated, film-like
protective element 1 and then theflat absorption body 2 together with theenvelope 6 were carefully placed through thetreatment opening 12 with sterilized forceps 16 (not shown) onto the surface of the wound. Theabsorption body 2 has an initial volume V1. Thedrainage tube 4 is then pushed in over theenvelope piece 22 and under thewound covering element 3 in such a manner that it rests on the envelope of the absorption body 2 (seeFIG. 2 b). By gluing the drainage device to the skin, a gas-tight wound space 5 is formed between the wound-coveringelement 3 and the surface of the wound. - A
vacuum pump 15, which can be operated by hand and is equipped with a pressure manometer 15 (seeFIG. 5 ), is connected over aline 31 with thedrainage tube 4. Since thewound space 5 is sealed, the gases in thewound space 5 can be evacuated with the help of thevacuum pump 15. The state is shown inFIGS. 2 b and 5. A reduced pressure of about 100 mm Hg was produced within thewound space 5 with the help of thevacuum pump 15. Acheck valve 17, which permits the flow of gases and possibly of liquid wound secretions only in the direction of acollection container 16, which is connected upstream from thevacuum pump 16, is disposed in theline 31 between theenvelope piece 22 and thevacuum pump 14. - The wound secretions, emerging from the wound, reach the
absorption body 2 and bring about a compression underneath the wound-coveringelement 3. After the aspiration of wound secretions, theabsorption body 2 assumes a final volume V2 (seeFIGS. 2 c and 2 d). All wound secretions, which have emerged from the wound, are absorbed by theabsorption body 2. Basically, the outside of theenvelope 6 remains dry. - The consumed
absorption body 2 and theprotective element 1 are now removed carefully from the region of the wound by raising the pivotinglid 23 with the help of forceps (seeFIG. 2 d). If required, a new absorption body and a newprotective element 1 can be placed on the wound. If the wounds discharge very heavily, there may be an excess of wound secretion, which is passed over thedrainage tube 4 to the collectingcontainer 16. - If the patient is to be subjected to an in-patient wound treatment, the reduced pressure can be produced in the wound space in the wound region by an existing, clinical vacuum installation 21 (
FIG. 5 ). For this purpose, it is advisable to incorporate apressure regulator 18, with which the reduced pressure range can be adjusted, in the line between thedrainage tube 4 and thevacuum installation 21. - There has thus been shown and described a novel drainage device for treating wounds using a reduced pressure which fulfills all the objects and advantages sought therefore. Many changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications of the subject invention will, however, become apparent to those skilled in the art after considering this specification and the accompanying drawings which disclose the preferred embodiments thereof. All such changes, modifications, variations and other uses and applications which do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention are deemed to be covered by the invention, which is to be limited only by the claims which follow.
