Definitions
- the present invention relates to an irrigation dressing for deep wounds, which comprises an adhesive, substantially air- and liquid-impermeable plate having at least one perforation for supplying and sucking off liquid, and for pressure equalisation.
- Local medical treatment provided at present consists in removing dead tissue, washing and irrigating the wounds. These are drained by means of rubber drains or packed with gauze compresses wetted with saline solution. Additional compresses are placed on top and covered with adhesive dressings. The compresses in the wound serve to support the walls of the wound cavity and, to some extent, immobilise the wound, relieving the pain of the patient. Also, they absorb liquid and pus from the wound, thus contributing to keeping clean the wound and the surround ⁇ ing areas. On a small scale, foam rubber or the like can be used as filling. Such a material stimulates the deve ⁇ lopment of a healthy wound surface. It takes a great deal of professional skill to "pack" a wound cavity in a proper way.
- One object of the present invention is to provide an irrigation dressing which can be used with all kinds of wound cavities regardless of their depth and which, also, is inexpensive to manufacture.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an irrigation dressing which can be handled by personnel with no special training and which does not prevent the patient from moving about freely.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide an irrigation dressing substantially reducing the number of redressings of the wound cavity, as compared with present- day techniques.
- an irrigation dressing comprising a substantially air- and water-impermeable, flexible plate made up of an outer layer, an inner adhesive layer and, optionally, a release layer applied to the adhesive layer, said plate being formed with at least one perforation to which a conduit is connected for supplying and sucking off liquid, and which is also used for pressure equalisation.
- Fig. 2 is a top plan view showing the outer surface of the inventive irrigation dressing
- Figs 3-6 are sections illustrating different embodi- ments of part of the inventive irrigation dressing
- Fig. 7 is a section of an embodiment of the conduit for supplying and draining liquid
- Fig. 8 is a section of another embodiment of the inventive irrigation dressing;
- Fig. 9 illustrates an alternative embodiment of the conduit for supplying and draining liquid;
- Figs lOa-b illustrate embodiments of a bag which can be connected to the inventive irrigation dressing.
- Figs 1 and 2 illustrate the inventive irrigation dressing which comprises a flexible plate 1 which readily adapts to the skin and which is made up of an outer layer 2 and an inner adhesive layer 3.
- the outer layer is made of an air- and liquid-impermeable, flexible material, e.g. polyurethane foam, and the inner adhesive layer is, for example, made of a hydrocolloid adhesive material.
- the inner adhesive layer 3 is provided with a protective paper 5 which may, alternatively, form part of a package.
- a stiffened portion 4 e.g. of silicone. Alternatively, this portion may be provided on the top or bottom surface of the plate 1.
- a conduit 10 of flexible material that is kind to the skin and cannot be broken is fixed to the connection 8 in the perforation 6 for supplying and draining liquid.
- This conduit is, for instance, a thick- walled silicone hose.
- the lower end of this hose may be cut off squarely, but it suitably has a pointed end, which facilitates the use of the hose.
- a flexible pad 11, e.g. a cylindrical piece of synthetic fabric or foam rubber forming an open-pore capillary system is arranged at the lower end of the hose.
- the pad which is passed over the end of the conduit, can fill up more or less of the space in the wound cavity.
- the conduit 10 either has a given length or is provided with weakened portions or rupture lines 17 at different levels, so that it can be torn off to a suitable length. This is illustra ⁇ ted in Fig. 7.
- the outer layer 2 of the plate 1 as well as the conduit 10 and the rigid portion 4 may consist of sili- cone, polyvinyl chloride plastic, or any other suitable plastic or rubber.
- the perforation 7, together with the associated connection 9, has pressure-equalising function.
- air passes freely.
- the perforation 7 is not necessarily equipped with a connection, but may consist of a through bore. If a connection is arranged in the perforation 7, it may alternatively be equipped with a water seal 13 (see Fig. 3) or, if there is not sufficient room within the narrow perforation area, with a water seal device (not shown) which is only momentarily connected to the connec ⁇ tion and then removed. Yet another alternative is attach ⁇ ing to the connection a water-level indicator 14, e.g. a transparent rubber hose, as shown in Fig. 4. Thus, it is possible to see when the wound cavity has been filled with irrigation liquid and sucking-off should begin.
- a water-level indicator 14 e.g. a transparent rubber hose
- the perforation 7 can be equipped with an air filter 15 for keeping out bacteria.
- an area 16 of porous, air- permeable material which replaces the outer impermeable layer and the adhesive layer and, thus, performs a pressure-equalising function.
- the porous material then suitably has a water-repellent surface on the side facing the skin.
- both connections 8 and 9 are suitably adapted to be connected to existing systems in hospitals.
- the connections 8 and 9 are suitably countersunk in the outer surface of the outer layer 2, i.e. on the side opposite to the side attached to the adhesive layer.
- the stiffened plate portion 4 can be dispensed with if the dressing is stable enough without it.
- the two connections can be closed by means of a piece of adhesive tape or, for example, a lid of silicone plaster.
- the perforation 6 and the connection associated therewith are adapted to be connected to e.g. a syringe 12 (see Fig. 1) for supplying irrigation liquid to and also draining the wound cavity.
- a syringe 12 see Fig. 1
- the connection can be coupled to a two-way valve with an associated syringe for draining the cavity. With the syringe, liquid is then sucked off from the cavity one way and pressed out the other way.
- the plate 1 can be formed with only one perforation for supplying and sucking off liquid as well as for pressure-equalisation. This could be done by the conduit 10, which is connected to the perforation, being a double conduit or by the air from the wound cavity being allowed to pass beside the conduit.
- Fig. 8 illustrates yet another embodiment of the inventive irrigation dressing.
- This dressing comprises an impermeable bag 18 which is used for filling up the wound cavity.
- the bag which is to be wholly or partly filled, either with liquid, such as water, or with gas, such as air, adapts to the shape of the walls of the wound cavity after being filled.
- the bag is elastic and made of polymer materials, optionally foam material or latex rubber, but it may also be inelastic.
- the plate 1 is formed with yet another opening 19 for the connection and refilling of the bag 18.
- the opening 19 may, for instance, be provided with a rubber membrane.
- This embodi ⁇ ment further facilitates the bandaging of the wound for both the patient and the personnel.
- the irrigation according to the invention will only involve the layer between the bag and the wound surface.
- the bag 18 may also have an active function.
- the bag wall may, for instance, consist of a semipermeable membra ⁇ ne allowing e.g. pharmaceutical preparations to pass from the interior of the bag which is filled with liquid.
- the bag wall may be provided with a pharma ⁇ ceutical preparation, other healing substances, bacteri- cide or the like.
- the bag wall facing the wound surface may have open communicating tubes or ducts 24 (see Fig. 10a) serv ⁇ ing to distribute and drain liquid towards the pad 11 or the opening of the conduit 10.
- the bag may, as shown in Fig. 10b, have constrictions 25 entailing the formation of ducts between the bag wall and the wound surface. These constrictions may be produced by the bag material having lower resilience at 25.
- a capillary-active material e.g.
- a woven fabric can be applied to the outer bag wall surface to facilitate the draining of irrigation liquid.
- the bag 18 with double walls, such that liquid ducts are formed in the layer between the outer and the inner wall.
- the outer wall may be made of either a semipermeable material allowing the passage of e.g. pharmaceutical preparations, or a capillary-active material.
- the ducts may be wholly or partly perforated, and the bag may be formed, wholly or partly, with ducts while at the same time comprising both capil ⁇ lary material and semipermeable material.
- the bag 18 may also serve substantially as a stabiliser after the irriga ⁇ tion.
- the bag can be used not only with the inventive irrigation dressing, but also with another sepa ⁇ rate plate or an adhesive layer.
- the bag stimulates the healing process.
- the connection between the plate 1 and the bag 18 may be extended by a hose.
- Fig. 9 illustrates an embodiment of the lower part of the conduit 10.
- This embodiment is particularly suited for use in the case of bag-equipped dressings.
- the end of the conduit which is to be placed in the deep- est part of the wound is equipped with a pad 11 having communicating or non-communicating chambers or ducts 22 which have a capillary or non-capillary function.
- the pad has stabilising means keeping the ducts open to external or internal pressure.
- the chambers or ducts of the pad are open outwards and to the conduit 10 and may communicate with flexible tubes 21 optionally formed with perforations on a major or minor part of their surface.
- the pad consists of a more rigid member, e.g. of plastic that is kind to the skin, having a plurality of holes for distributing irrigation liquid across a larger area.
- the conduit 10 is arranged beside the bag. It is to be under ⁇ stood that the conduit 10 may just as well pass through the bag 18.
- the irrigation dressing according to the invention operates as follows.
- the conduit 10, and optionally the pad 11 at the end of the conduit is placed in the deepes part of the wound cavity to be treated, whereupon the remainder of the cavity is filled with gauze compresses.
- the bag is filled to a suitable extent and then placed in the wound cavity for final adjustment of its volume.
- the plate 1 is then applied over the wound cavity with the adhesive material facing against the skin, and when the plate is in position, the system is sealed, the connections 8 and 9 excepted.
- the wound surface is always turned upwards so that the cavity can be comple- tely filled.
- the conduit and the pad then are located in the deepest part of the wound.
- a syringe is connected to the connection 8 and irrigation liquid is supplied to the cavity until there is an indication that the cavity is filled. Then, the cavity is drained, the syringe is removed, and the connections are closed.
- the pad 11 serves to absorb also the liquid at the bottom of the wound cavity, which is not possible to do with only a hose end. After the sucking- off, the compresses in the wound cavity are saturated with liquid to about 50%.
- Example 1 Irrigation of a small cavity, below 50 ml (e.g. a drained abspess)
- a filled 50 cm syringe is applied to the connection with the conduit. Liquid is injected until there is a resistance, when the water seal closes or the indicator shows that the cavity is filled. Then, the syringe is used for sucking off not only the injected liquid, but also pus and bacteria present in the wound before the irrigation. The syringe and the water seal or indicator, if any, are then disconnected. The connections are sealed to achieve occlusive conditions in the wound until the next irriga- tion is to take place.
- the cavity is filled with gauze compresses, the liquid flow in the capillary-active gauze material, as well as in the woven fabric, is con- ducted under suction towards the pad. The gauze is washed of pus, which reduces the need of bandaging.
- the inventive irrigation dressing With the inventive irrigation dressing, only one ban ⁇ daging is needed every day instead of 3-7, this relieving the patient of both physical and mental suffering, and also saving the medical service considerable amounts of money. Furthermore, the inventive irrigation dressing is extremely easy to handle and therefore requires no specially-trained personnel. It is even conceivable that the patient may himself handle the dressing. Since there are no projecting parts on the dressing when it is not used for irrigation, the dressing is indeed suitable for patients with bedsores, and it also enables the patient to move about freely.
- the dressing can be used in both small and large wound cavities. Especially when the conduit is provided with weakened portions or rapture lines and when the bag is attached thereto, the dressing is readily adapted to a particular cavity.
