- reduced pressure generally refers to a pressure less than the ambient pressure at a tissue site that is being subjected to treatment. In most cases, this reduced pressure will be less than the atmospheric pressure at which the patient is located. Alternatively, the reduced pressure may be less than a hydrostatic pressure associated with tissue at the tissue site. Although the terms “vacuum” and “negative pressure” may be used to describe the pressure applied to the tissue site, the actual pressure reduction applied to the tissue site may be significantly less than the pressure reduction normally associated with a complete vacuum. Reduced pressure may initially generate fluid flow in the area of the tissue site. As the hydrostatic pressure around the tissue site approaches the desired reduced pressure, the flow may subside, and the reduced pressure is then maintained. Unless otherwise indicated, values of pressure stated herein are gauge pressures. Similarly, references to increases in reduced pressure typically refer to a decrease in absolute pressure, while decreases in reduced pressure typically refer to an increase in absolute pressure.
- tissue site refers to a wound or defect located on or within any tissue, including but not limited to, bone tissue, adipose tissue, muscle tissue, neural tissue, dermal tissue, vascular tissue, connective tissue, cartilage, tendons, or ligaments.
- tissue site may further refer to areas of any tissue that are not necessarily wounded or defective, but are instead areas in which it is desired to add or promote the growth of additional tissue. For example, reduced pressure tissue treatment may be used in certain tissue areas to grow additional tissue that may be harvested and transplanted to another tissue location.
- Reduced pressure treatment systems are often applied to large, highly exudating wounds present on patients undergoing acute or chronic care, as well as other severe wounds that are not readily susceptible to healing without application of reduced pressure.
- Low-severity wounds that are smaller in volume and produce less exudate have generally been treated using advanced dressings instead of reduced pressure treatment. Improvements in wound healing, however, may be obtained by using reduced pressure treatment, even with smaller and less severe wounds.
- a conventional reduced pressure system includes an electrically-powered reduced pressure pump that requires a patient to remain relatively still during treatment.
- a reduced pressure treatment system 100 includes a reduced pressure dressing 104 positioned at a tissue site 108 of a patient.
- the reduced pressure dressing 104 is fluidly connected to a reduced pressure source 110 by a conduit 112.
- the conduit 112 may fluidly communicate with the reduced pressure dressing 104 through a tubing adapter 116.
- the reduced pressure source 110 is a manually-actuated pump such as the regulated pressure pumps described herein.
- the reduced pressure source 110 may include pressure regulation capabilities but may initially be charged or recharged to a selected reduced pressure by a reduced pressure or vacuum pump that is driven by an electric motor.
- the reduced pressure source 110 may be charged to the selected reduced pressure by a wall suction port such as are available in hospitals and other medical facilities.
- the reduced pressure source 110 may be housed within or used in conjunction with a reduced pressure treatment unit (not shown), which may also contain sensors, processing units, alarm indicators, memory, databases, software, display units, and user interfaces that further facilitate the application of reduced pressure treatment to the tissue site 108.
- a sensor or switch (not shown) may be disposed at or near the reduced pressure source 110 to determine a source pressure generated by the reduced pressure source 110.
- the sensor may communicate with a processing unit that monitors and controls the reduced pressure that is delivered by the reduced pressure source 110. Delivery of reduced pressure to the reduced pressure dressing 104 and tissue site 108 encourages new tissue growth by maintaining drainage of exudate from the tissue site, increasing blood flow to tissues surrounding the tissue site, and creating microstrain at the tissue site.
- the reduced pressure dressing 104 includes a distribution manifold 120 adapted to be positioned at the tissue site 108, and a seal layer 122 to seal the reduced pressure dressing 104 around the tissue site 108.
- a cover 124, or drape is positioned over the distribution manifold 120 and the seal layer to maintain reduced pressure beneath the cover 124 at the tissue site.
- the cover 124 may extend beyond a perimeter of the tissue site and may include an adhesive or bonding agent on the cover 124 to secure the cover to tissue adjacent the tissue site.
- the adhesive disposed on cover 124 may be used in lieu of the seal layer 122, however, the seal layer 122 may be used in conjunction with the adhesive of the cover 124 to improve sealing of the cover 124 at the tissue site 108.
- the seal layer 122 may be used in lieu of adhesive disposed on cover 124.
- the distribution manifold 120 of the reduced pressure dressing 104 is adapted to contact the tissue site 108.
- the distribution manifold 120 may be partially or fully in contact with the tissue site 108 being treated by the reduced pressure dressing 104.
- the distribution manifold 120 may partially or fully fill the wound.
- the distribution manifold 120 may be any size, shape, or thickness depending on a variety of factors, such as the type of treatment being implemented or the nature and size of the tissue site 108.
- the size and shape of the distribution manifold 120 may be customized by a user to cover a particular portion of the tissue site 108, or to fill or partially fill the tissue site 108.
- the distribution manifold 120 illustrated in FIG. 3 has a square shape, the distribution manifold 120 may be shaped as a circle, oval, polygon, an irregular shape, or any other shape.
- the distribution manifold 120 is a foam material that distributes reduced pressure to the tissue site 108 when the distribution manifold 120 is in contact with or near the tissue site 108.
- the foam material may be either hydrophobic or hydrophilic.
- the distribution manifold 120 is an open-cell, reticulated polyurethane foam such as GranuFoam ® dressing available from Kinetic Concepts, Inc. of San Antonio, Texas.
- the distribution manifold 120 also functions to wick fluid away from the tissue site 108, while continuing to provide reduced pressure to the tissue site 108 as a manifold.
- the wicking properties of the distribution manifold 120 draw fluid away from the tissue site 108 by capillary flow or other wicking mechanisms.
- An example of a hydrophilic foam is a polyvinyl alcohol, open-cell foam such as V.A.C. WhiteFoam ® dressing available from Kinetic Concepts, Inc. of San Antonio, Texas.
- Other hydrophilic foams may include those made from polyether.
- Other foams that may exhibit hydrophilic characteristics include hydrophobic foams that have been treated or coated to provide hydrophilicity.
- the distribution manifold 120 may further promote granulation at the tissue site 108 when a reduced pressure is applied through the reduced pressure dressing 104.
- any or all of the surfaces of the distribution manifold 120 may have an uneven, coarse, or jagged profile that causes microstrains and stresses at the tissue site 108 when reduced pressure is applied through the distribution manifold 120. These microstrains and stresses have been shown to increase new tissue growth.
- the distribution manifold 120 may be constructed from bioresorbable materials that do not have to be removed from a patient's body following use of the reduced pressure dressing 104.
- Suitable bioresorbable materials may include, without limitation, a polymeric blend of polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA).
- the polymeric blend may also include without limitation polycarbonates, polyfumarates, and capralactones.
- the distribution manifold 120 may further serve as a scaffold for new cell- growth, or a scaffold material may be used in conjunction with the distribution manifold 120 to promote cell-growth.
- a scaffold is a substance or structure used to enhance or promote the growth of cells or formation of tissue, such as a three-dimensional porous structure that provides a template for cell growth.
- Illustrative examples of scaffold materials include calcium phosphate, collagen, PLA/PGA, coral hydroxy apatites, carbonates, or processed allograft materials.
- a reduced pressure treatment apparatus 150 or reduced pressure pump, or reduced pressure source, is schematically illustrated and includes a charging chamber 154 fluidly connected by a passage 156, or conduit, to a regulated chamber 158.
- a regulator member 162 is operably associated with the passage 156 to selectively allow or prevent fluid communication between the charging chamber 154 and the regulated chamber 158.
- the regulator member 162 includes a piston 164 that is disposed within the regulated chamber 158.
- the regulator member 162 further includes a regulator spring 166 to bias the piston 164 toward an open position as illustrated in FIG. 3. In the open position, the piston 164 allows fluid communication through the passage 156. In a closed position (shown in FIG. 4), the piston 164 prevents or at least substantially reduces fluid communication through the passage 156.
- the charging chamber 154 is fluidly connected to the regulated chamber 158 by passage 156.
- the charging chamber 154 may include an inlet 170 for introduction of a reduced pressure to the charging chamber 154, or as explained below, the charging chamber 154 may by operably associated with a piston-driven or other device to charge the charging chamber 154 with the reduced pressure.
- the charging chamber 154 is well suited to receive the reduced pressure from a device that is manually-actuated, or alternatively that is powered by electrical or other means.
- the regulated chamber 158 is fluidly connected by a conduit 172 to a dressing 174.
- the conduit 172 and dressing 174 may be similar to conduit 112 and dressing 104.
- the charging chamber 154 stores a first pressure that is less than an ambient pressure.
- the regulated chamber 158 stores a second pressure that is also less than the ambient pressure. The first pressure stored in the charging chamber 154 is less than the second pressure stored in the regulated chamber 158.
- a counteracting force on the piston is able to overcome a biasing force exerted by the regulator spring 166 on the piston 164.
- the counteracting force on the piston is a result of a pressure differential across opposite sides of the piston 164.
- the ambient pressure e.g. atmospheric pressure
- the second pressure within the regulated chamber 158 acts on the piston. Since the second pressure is less than the ambient pressure, the counteracting force acts on the first side 176 of the piston 164 against the biasing force of the regulator spring 166.
- the piston 164 is biased back to the open position by the regulator spring 166. In the open position, fluid communication is allowed between the charging chamber 154 and the regulated chamber 158. Since the first pressure in the charging chamber 154 is less than the second pressure in the regulated chamber 158, the second pressure in the regulated chamber 158 drops until the desired therapy pressure is reached, at which point the piston 164 again moves to the closed position.
- the first pressure stored in the charging chamber 154 is about -150 mm Hg, and the desired therapy pressure is about -125 mm Hg.
- a piston-driven device 180 is provided for charging a charging chamber 182 similar to charging chamber 154.
- the piston-driven device 180 includes a piston 184 disposed within the charging chamber 182. This piston 184 is capable of reciprocal movement between a compressed position (see FIG. 5) and an extended position (see. FIG. 6).
- a piston spring 188 or other biasing member is operably associated within the piston 184 to bias the piston 184 toward the extended position.
- the piston 184 is moved to the compressed position.
- a seal 190 or other valve member allows fluid within the charging chamber 182 to exit the charging chamber 182 as a volume of the charging chamber 182 decreases.
- the piston spring 188 attempts to return the piston 184 to the extended position.
- the seal 190 prevents fluid from entering the charging chamber 182 past the seal 190, which results in a pressure drop within the charging chamber 182.
- the piston 184 may be moved again to the compressed position to recharge the charging chamber 182 with a reduced pressure.
- the piston-driven device 180 may be manually-actuated by a user compressing the piston 184.
- the piston 184 may be actuated by an electrical, hydraulic, or pneumatic actuator.
- reduced pressure may be supplied to the charging chamber by manual or electrically powered means.
- a reduced pressure treatment apparatus, or reduced pressure source 211 is a manually-actuated pump having a first, or outer barrel 215 and a second, or inner barrel 219.
- the first barrel 215 includes a passage 223 (see FIG. 9) having a closed end and an open end.
- the passage 223 may be defined by a substantially cylindrical wall.
- the passage 223 slidingly receives the second barrel 219 through the open end of the first barrel 215, and the second barrel 219 is movable between an extended position and a compressed position. While the first and second barrels are illustrated as having substantially cylindrical shapes, the shapes of the barrels could be any other shape that permits operation of the device.
- the reduced pressure source 211 In the extended position, the reduced pressure source 211 is discharged and does not actively deliver or supply a reduced pressure. In the compressed position, the reduced pressure source 211 is primed or charged, and the reduced pressure source 211 is capable of delivering a reduced pressure.
- An outlet port 227 is provided on the second barrel 219 and is adapted for fluid communication with a delivery tube or other conduit, which may be similar to delivery tube 135, such that reduced pressure generated by the reduced pressure source 211 may be delivered to the tissue site.
- the reduced pressure source 211 further includes a barrel ring 229, a piston 231, and a seal 235.
- the barrel ring 229 is positioned at the open end of the first barrel 215 to circumscribe the second barrel 219.
- the barrel ring 229 eliminates large gaps between the first barrel 215 and the second barrel 219 at the open end of the first barrel 215.
- the piston 231 and seal 235 are slidingly received within the passage 223 of the first barrel 215.
- Both the piston 231 and the seal 235 are positioned in the passage 223 between the second barrel 219 and the closed end of the first barrel 215, the seal 235 being positioned between the second barrel 219 and the piston 231.
- the first barrel 215 includes a protrusion 239 extending from the closed end of the first barrel 215 into the passage 223.
- a piston spring 243 or other biasing member is positioned within the passage 223 and is received at one end of the piston spring 243 by the protrusion 239.
- the protrusion 239 reduces lateral movement of the piston spring 243 within the passage 223.
- An opposite end of the piston spring 243 is received against the piston 231.
- the piston spring 243 biases the piston 231 , the seal 235, and the second barrel 219 toward the extended position.
- the piston 231 includes an outer wall 247 and an inner wall 251 joined by an outer floor 253.
- An annulus 255 is defined between the outer wall 247 and the inner wall 251, and a plurality of radial supports 259 are positioned between the outer wall 247 and the inner wall 251 in the annulus 255.
- the radial supports 259 provide additional rigidity to the piston 231, yet the presence of the annulus 255 as well as the sizes and spacing of the radial supports 259 within the annulus 255 reduces the weight of the piston 231 as compared to a single-wall piston that includes no annulus.
- either piston design would be suitable for the reduced pressure source described herein.
- a plurality of guides 263 is disposed on the piston 231 , and in one embodiment, one of the guides 263 is disposed on each radial support 259. As described in more detail herein, the guides 263 serve to align the piston 231 relative to the seal 235 and the second barrel 219. The guides 263 further serve to secure the piston 231 to the second barrel 219 by means of a friction fit.
- the piston 231 further includes an inner bowl 267 that is defined by the inner wall 251 and an inner floor 271.
- the inner floor 271 may be two-tiered or multi-tiered as illustrated in FIG. 11, but the inner floor 271 may instead be single-tiered and/or substantially planar.
- the inner floor 271 may be positioned such that a recess 273 is defined beneath the inner floor 271 to receive an end of the piston spring 243 (see FIGS. 11 and 13).
- a regulator passage 275 passes through the inner floor 271.
- a valve seat 279 may be positioned in the inner bowl 267 near the regulator passage 275 such that fluid communication through the regulator passage 275 may be selectively controlled by selective engagement of the valve seat 279 with a valve body (described in more detail with reference to FIG. 15).
- a well 283 is positioned in the annulus 255 of the piston 231 , and a channel 287 is fluidly connected between the well 283 and the inner bowl 267.
- the channel 287 allows fluid communication between the well 283 and the inner bowl 267.
- the seal 235 includes a central portion 291 that is circumscribed by a skirt portion 295.
- a plurality of guidance apertures 299 are disposed in the central portion 291 to receive the guides 263 of the piston 231 when the reduced pressure source 211 is assembled.
- a communication aperture 301 is similarly disposed in the central portion 291, and in one embodiment, the communication aperture 301 is radially spaced an equal distance from a center of the seal as the guidance apertures 299.
- the communication aperture 301 permits fluid communication through the central portion 291 of the seal 235 and with the well 283 of the piston 231 upon assembly.
- the skirt portion 295 of the seal 235 extends axially and radially outward from the central portion 291. As illustrated in FIG. 11, the radially-outward-extending skirt portion 295 engages an inner surface 305 of the first barrel 215 to permit unidirectional fluid communication past the seal 235. In other words, the skirt portion 295 of the seal 235 allows fluid to flow past the skirt portion 295 when the fluid flow is directed from the side of the seal 235 on which the piston 231 is disposed toward the opposite side of the seal 235. The skirt portion 295, however, substantially prevents fluid flow in the opposite direction. While the skirt portion of the seal effectively controls fluid communication past the skirt portion 295, a valve member such as, for example, a check valve or other valve could instead be used to perform this function.
- a valve member such as, for example, a check valve or other valve could instead be used to perform this function.
- valve body 303 is positioned on the central portion 291 of the seal 235.
- the valve body 303 may be cone-shaped with an apex 309 that is adapted to sealingly engage the valve seat 279 of the piston 231.
- the valve body 303 is illustrated as being an integral part of the seal 235, the valve body 303 may alternatively be a separate component from the seal 235 that is provided to engage the valve seat 279.
- both the seal 235 and the valve body 303 are made from an elastomeric material, which could include without limitation a medical grade silicone. While many different materials may be used to construct, form, or otherwise create the seal 235 and valve body 303, it is preferred that a flexible material be used to improve the sealing properties of the skirt portion 295 with the inner surface 305 and the valve body 303 with the valve seat 279.
- a regulator spring 307 is provided to bias the valve body 303 away from the piston 231 and the valve seat 279.
- One end of the regulator spring 307 may be positioned concentrically around the valve seat 279 within the inner bowl 267 of the piston 231, while another end of the regulator spring 307 may be positioned around the valve body 303.
- the biasing force provided by the regulator spring 307 urges the valve body 303 toward an open position in which fluid communication is permitted through the regulator passage 275.
- the spring 307 biases the valve body 303 toward the open position, only the central portion 291 of the seal 235 moves upward due to the flexibility of the seal (see FIG. 20).
- the biasing force of the spring 307 may move the entire seal 235 toward the open position as illustrated in FIG. 2OA.
- the second barrel 219 includes a first housing portion 311 and a second housing portion 315.
- the first housing portion 311 includes an outer shell 319 having an aperture 323 disposed near an open end of the first housing portion 311.
- a floor 327 is integrally formed with or otherwise connected to the outer shell 319 on an end of the first housing portion 311 opposite the open end.
- a passage 331 may be centrally disposed in the floor 327.
- a boss 333 is integrated with or connected to the first housing portion 311.
- the boss 333 includes the outlet port 227, which is physically aligned with the aperture 323 to allow a delivery tube to be fluidly connected to the outlet port 227.
- the boss 323 is a ninety degree fluid fitting that permits the outlet port 227 to fluidly communicate with a conduit 335 positioned within the first housing portion 311.
- the conduit 335 may be a rigid conduit that is formed from the same or similar material to that of the outer shell, or in one alternative embodiment, the conduit 335 may be flexible.
- a plurality of guidance apertures 337 are disposed in the floor 327 of the first housing portion 311.
- the guidance apertures 337 receive the guides 263 of the piston 231 to ensure that the second barrel 219 remains aligned with the piston 231.
- a friction fit between the guides 263 and guidance apertures 337 assist in securing the relative positions of the piston 231 and the second barrel 219. It should be readily apparent, however, that the piston 231 and the second barrel 219 may be secured by alternative means.
- a communication aperture 338 is also disposed in the floor 327 to allow fluid communication with the conduit 335 through the floor 327.
- the second housing portion 315 may include an end cap 339 integrally or otherwise connected to a guide 343. Together, the end cap 339 and guide 343 slidingly engage the outer shell 319 of the first housing portion 311 to create a substantially closed second barrel 219 (with the exception of various apertures and passages). While the second barrel 219 may be constructed from fewer components, the existence of the first housing portion 311 and the second housing portion 315 allows easier access within the second barrel 219 and also allows easier assembly of the reduced pressure source 211. Additional advantages regarding the sliding engagement of the first housing portion 311 and the second housing portion 315 are explained in more detail below.
- a shaft 347 extends from the end cap 339 and includes an engagement end 349 opposite the end cap 339.
- the shaft When the second barrel 219 is assembled, the shaft may be substantially coaxial to a longitudinal axis of the second barrel 219 and extend through the passage 331 in the floor 327 of the first housing portion 311.
- a spring 351 is positioned within the second barrel 219 such that one end of the spring 351 bears upon the floor 327 of the first housing portion 311 and another end of the spring 351 bears upon the shaft 347 or another portion of the second housing portion 315.
- the spring 351 biases the shaft 347 and other portions of the second housing portion 315 toward a disengaged position (see position of shaft 347 in FIG.
- a charging chamber 355 is defined within the first barrel 215 beneath the piston 231.
- a regulated chamber 359 is defined within the inner bowl 267 of the piston 231 beneath the seal 235.
- the regulator passage 275 allows selective fluid communication between the charging chamber 355 and the regulated chamber 359 depending on the position of the valve body 303.
- the regulated chamber 359 fluidly communicates with the well 283 of the piston 231 through the channel 287.
- the well 283 is aligned with the communication aperture 301 of the seal 235 and the communication aperture 338 of the first housing portion 311, which allows fluid communication between the well 283 and the conduit 335 and outlet port 227 of the second barrel 219.
- the reduced pressure source 211 is capable of being used with other components of a reduced pressure treatment system similar to those of reduced pressure treatment system 100 (see FIG. 1).
- the outlet port 227 of the reduced pressure source 211 is adapted to be connected to a delivery tube or other conduit that is fluidly connected to a tissue site.
- a fluid canister could be integrated into the reduced pressure source 211, in one embodiment, the reduced pressure source 211 is not intended to collect wound exudates or other fluids within any internal chamber.
- the reduced pressure source 211 may either be used with low-exudating wounds, or an alternative collection system such as an external canister or absorptive dressing may be used to collect fluids.
- the extended position (see FIG. 11) and the compressed position (see FIG. 18) of the reduced pressure source 211 are illustrated.
- the reduced pressure source 211 is not “charged” and is thus not capable of delivering reduced pressure to the outlet port 227.
- the second barrel 219 is manually compressed into the first barrel 215 by a user such that the reduced pressure source 211 is placed in the compressed position.
- the force exerted by the user on the second barrel 219 must be greater than the biasing force provided by the piston spring 243.
- the force being exerted on the second barrel 219 by the user is also transmitted to the seal 235 and piston 231.
- the movement of the second barrel 219, the seal 235, and the piston 231 into the compressed position decreases the volume of the charging chamber 355.
- the pressure in the charging chamber 355 increases, but air and other gases within the charging chamber 355 are allowed to escape past the skirt portion 295 of the seal 235 due to the increased pressure within the charging chamber 355.
- a reduced pressure that is greater (i.e., a lower absolute pressure) than the amount of reduced pressure to be supplied to the tissue site. For example, if it is desired to provide 125 mmHg of reduced pressure to the tissue site, it may be desirable to have the charging chamber 355 charged to 150 mmHg of reduced pressure.
- the regulated chamber 359 is used to generate the desired therapy pressure that is delivered to the outlet port 227 and the tissue site.
- the upward force on the seal 235 (exerted by the increased absolute pressure in the regulated chamber 359 and the biasing force of the regulator spring 307, both against the atmosphere pressure exerted downward on the seal 235) moves the valve body 303 into the open position (see FIG. 20), thereby allowing fluid communication between the charging chamber 355 and the regulated chamber 359.
- the charging chamber 355 continues to charge the regulated chamber 359 with reduced pressure (i.e., the absolute pressure in the regulated chamber 359 continues to drop) until the reduced pressure in the regulated chamber 359, balanced against the atmospheric pressure above the seal 235, is sufficient to counteract the biasing force of the regulator spring 307 and move the valve body into the closed position (see FIG. 19).
- this pressure may be delivered to the outlet port as detailed previously.
- the reduced pressure source 211 When the reduced pressure source 211 is initially connected to a delivery tube and tissue site for treatment, it will likely be necessary to compress the second barrel 219 within the first barrel 215 multiple times. As each compression stroke is completed, the reduced pressure generated within the charging chamber 355 will pull air and any other gases from the delivery tube and the tissue site until the pressure within the tube and at the tissue site begins to approach the desired therapy pressure.
- the reduced pressure source 211 As the reduced pressure source 211 is being primed by one or more compressions, it is important that air and other positively-pressurized gases being pushed out of the charging chamber 355 are pushed past the skirt portion 295 of the seal 235 and not into the regulated chamber 359. Positively pressurized gas flow to the regulated chamber 359 may transfer to the delivery tube and the tissue site, which would counteract the reduced pressure that is then being applied to the tissue site. To prevent positively pressurized gas from entering the regulated chamber 359, the shaft 347 is provided to engage the seal 235 and valve body 303.
- the second housing portion 315 moves relative to the first housing portion 311 so that the shaft 347 exerts a force on the valve body 303 that holds the valve body 303 in the closed position. Since the shaft 347 remains engaged during the entire compression, or charging stroke of the reduced pressure source 211, the air within the charging chamber 355 is vented past the seal 235 and not into the regulated chamber 359.
- the reduced pressure source 211 including the first barrel 215, the second barrel 219, the piston 231, and the seal 235, have been described herein as being cylindrical, it will be readily apparent that all of these components may be any size or shape. Additionally, the relative positions of the valve seat 279 and the valve body 303 may be reversed such that the valve body 303 is positioned below the valve seat 279.
- a reduced pressure treatment system 511 includes a reduced pressure treatment apparatus 513 for delivering a reduced pressure to a dressing 515 positioned at a tissue site 517.
- the reduced pressure treatment apparatus includes a first flexible bladder 521 and a second flexible bladder 523.
- the flexible bladders 521, 523 are preferably made from an elastomeric material such as, for example, a silicone polymer, rubber, or another elastomeric material.
- the first flexible bladder 521 includes a compressible chamber 527 in which is disposed a biasing member 529.
- the second flexible bladder 523 includes a charging chamber 535 in which is disposed a biasing member 537.
- the biasing members 529, 537 may be any device that provides a biasing force to resist collapse of the chambers 527, 535.
- the biasing members 529, 537 may be a porous foam that allows flow of fluid within or through the chambers 527, 535, but resists collapse when the chambers are exposed to a pressure less than an ambient pressure surrounding the reduced pressure treatment apparatus 513.
- the first flexible bladder 521 includes a one-way valve 541 to allow expulsion of air from the compressible chamber 527 when the first flexible bladder is 521 is compressed by a user.
- the one-way valve 541 prevents or substantially reduces fluid from entering the compressible chamber 527 through the one-way valve 541. Instead, fluid enters the compressible chamber 527 through a one-way valve 551 positioned between the first flexible bladder 521 and the second flexible bladder 523. This fluid is pulled from the charging chamber 535 into the compressible chamber 527 to create a reduced pressure within the charging chamber 535.
- the first flexible bladder 521 may be compressed and allowed to expand several times to create the desired amount of reduced pressure in the charging chamber 535.
- the biasing member 537 in the charging chamber 535 is a porous foam that is more resistant to collapse than the biasing member 529 disposed in the compressible chamber 527. This configuration allows the charging chamber 535 to resist collapse such that a greater reduced pressure may be stored in the charging chamber 535.
- the charging chamber 535 is positioned in fluid communication with the dressing 515 to deliver a reduced pressure to the tissue site 517.
- a regulator member 561 is positioned between the charging chamber 535 and the tissue site 517 to regulate pressure delivered by the charging chamber 535 to the tissue site 517.
- the regulator member 561 may be similar to other regulators described herein, or may be any other type of regulator or device capable of regulating pressure. In one embodiment, it is desired that a pressure within the charging chamber 535 be less than the ambient pressure and less than a desired therapy pressure that is to be delivered to the tissue site 517.
- the regulator member 561 ensures that pressure delivered to the tissue site 517 does not drop below the desired therapy pressure. If the pressure supplied to the tissue 517 begins to exceed the desired therapy pressure (i.e. more reduced pressure is needed), the regulator opens to allow fluid communication between the charging chamber 535 and the tissue site 517.
- the reduced pressure treatment apparatus has been described as having a charging chamber similar in some respects to other embodiments described herein. While a well-defined regulated chamber has not been described in this particular embodiment, a regulated chamber exists either within the dressing 515 at which regulated pressure is maintained, or within a fluid conduit fluidly connecting the regulator member 561 to the dressing 515.
- FIG. 23 a graph is provided that illustrates the changes in pressure over time within a regulated chamber such as the regulated chambers described herein.
- a charging chamber to recharge the regulated chamber allows the pressure within the regulated chamber to vary little from the desired therapy pressure during operation of the reduced pressure source.
