Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wound care arrangement having a covering unit that is attachable to the skin surrounding a wound and used for producing an enclosed wound space comprising the wound and a suction connection, across which a negative pressure can be generated in the wound space, as well as a covering unit for such a wound care arrangement.
  • Such wound care arrangements are particularly used within the scope of the so-called vacuum therapy. It has been found that, in particular, the healing of chronic wounds can be promoted by applying negative pressure to these wounds.
  • the wound is covered or filled by an open-cell foam or gauze as filler material, for generating an enclosed wound space comprising the wound and, as the case may be, the filler material, is covered, and on the side of the covering unit, facing away from the wound or the filler material, a suction connection is installed, across which the wound space can be connected to a suction device designed for generating a negative pressure.
  • a flange of the suction connection is covered by the covering unit or taken up in a pocket surrounding an opening of the cover.
  • the suction connection may, for instance, be equipped with a tube connectable, on the one hand, to a connecting device of the suction connection designed for example in the form of a tube stub and, on the other hand, to a suction device.
  • the covering unit may, for instance, be embodied as a film-like material that is hermetically applied to the skin area adjacent to the wound.
  • Wound care arrangements which are usable within the scope of vacuum therapy are, for instance, described in EP 0620 720 B1.
  • the disclosure content of this document is hereby incorporated into the specification herein by express reference with respect to the details of the foaming means and the suction device usable within the scope of the vacuum therapy.
  • Suction connections usable within the scope of vacuum therapy and connectable, via a tube, to a suction device are, for instance, described in WO 03/073970 A1, in 2008/014358 A2 and in WO 2009/124548 A1.
  • a suction connection, called suction head having projections used for flow control in the area of the boundary area of the suction connection facing the wound is described in EP 1 018 967 B1.
  • a suction connection having a contact surface to be applied to the filler material, in the form of a disc-like shell is specified in EP 1 088 569 B1.
  • channels delimited by ridges are formed that are intended for moving the wound exudate in the direction of an aspiration opening.
  • WO 2010/011148 A1 describes a wound care arrangement which can be used within the scope of vacuum therapy and has an impermeable tube which can be pulled over an extremity of the human body as well as a perforated body to be arranged between the wound and the tube. Using the perforated body, between the impermeable tube and the wound base, a space is created in which, via a suction connection that can be hermetically applied to the impermeable tube, a negative pressure can be generated.
  • EP 1 162 932 81 describes a wound care arrangement having an envelope of a plastic material and a fluid absorbing material contained in the envelope. The wound care arrangement described in this document is intended for the protection of wounds. Because it is lacking a tube connection, it is not suitable for use in vacuum therapy.
  • the object of the invention is based on providing a wound care arrangement, by means of which, using vacuum therapy, the healing of wounds can be reliably promoted.
  • this objective is achieved by an enhancement of the prior art wound care arrangements, being essentially characterized in that the covering unit is water vapor permeable, at least in sections.
  • This invention is based on the consideration that the requirements to be established as a principle for a wound cover for vacuum therapy, according to which it is necessary to create a hermetic and watertight wound space which is additionally intended to also be germ-proof, biocompatible and eudermic, is not unduly affected if, accepting impairment of the seal, the covering unit is designed permeable to water vapor.
  • the water vapor permeability allows, on the one hand, excessive drying out of the wound as a result of moisture being transported from the environment into the wound space, on the other hand, however, also allows maceration of the wound by removal of excessive moisture by the cover.
  • a water vapor permeable covering unit it is possible to establish a healing promoting environment in the wound area or wound space.
  • any potential impairment of the skin surrounding the wound to which the covering unit is applied is also reduced.
  • the desired adjustment of the environment in the wound space can be implemented in a particularly reliable manner, if the water vapor permeability of the covering unit, at least in sections, is 300 g/m 2 /24 h or more, particularly 500 g/m 2 /24 h, particularly preferred 750 g/m 2 /24 h.
  • the water vapor permeability of the covering unit is expediently less than 10,000 g/m 2 /24 h, particularly less than 5,000 g/m 2 /24 h, particularly preferred 3,000 g/m 2 /24 h or less.
  • the water vapor permeability data refer to measurements according to DIN EN ISO 13726-2.
  • the covering unit comprises a polyurethane polymer, particularly an aromatic polyurethane polymer.
  • a filler material designed for filling the wound between the wound base and the covering unit is provided, preferably, on the suction connection side facing the filler material, a drainage layer for introducing the exudate to be aspirated from the filler material in at least one aspiration orifice of the suction connection being provided. If such a suction connection is provided, neither channel forming projections are required on the suction connection boundary area facing the filler material nor any expansion of the suction surface in the form of a disc-like shell.
  • the boundary area of the aspiration connection facing the filler material is designed flanged and plane and is penetrated by the suction opening, because the introduction of the wound exudate from the filler material is not caused by any special quality of the connection, but by the drainage layer arranged between the connection and the filler material.
  • the suction connection contact surface to be applied to the drainage layer is designed plane, i.e. without any projections, whether in the form of ridges delimiting channels or in the form of annular projections, as with the disc-like shells according to EP 1 088 569 B1
  • the impression of protruding structures into the drainage layer is prevented and, as a result, reliable functioning of the drainage layer is assured.
  • water vapor permeable covering units can not only be used for creating a desired environment in the wound space, but also for minimizing stress on the skin surrounding the wound, because damage to the skin, as observed with impermeable covering units, can be ruled out.
  • the covering unit of a wound care arrangement according to the invention is intended to be attachable to the skin surrounding the wound.
  • the covering unit per se may be equipped with an adhesive coating.
  • the application of the covering unit according to the invention is, however, simplified if the covering unit, in the form of an uncoated, as the case may be, tubular cover film, is associated with a separate adhesive film, in particular an adhering polyurethane film, by means of which, after application to the wound, the wound covering can be attached to the skin surrounding the wound.
  • the adhesive film may be provided in the form of a film ribbon.
  • the Applicant's adhesive film offered and sold under the trade name Suprasorb F can be used as adhesive film.
  • the water vapor permeability of the covering unit is substantially affected by an adhesive coating. It may be reduced to less than one third of the uncoated covering unit.
  • the wound care arrangement according to the invention is particularly advantageous and suitable for the treatment of wounds on extremities, such as foot, ankle, lower leg, arm, hand.
  • the covering unit may have a water vapor permeable film tube, into which this extremity can be introduced.
  • the tubular covering unit is pulled over the extremity and, with respect to the wound, is positioned in such a way that the wound is covered and sealed by the covering unit.
  • the covering unit can be attached to the skin adjacent to the wound using the adhesive film.
  • the adhesive film is pulled off a reel and wound on one end of the tube in such a way that, on the one hand, it adheres to the tube and, on the other hand, to the skin.
  • the application of the covering unit can be simplified if one axial end of the film tube is closed, particularly hermetically, to form a stocking-like arrangement. This can be done by welding (ultrasonic, heat, RF) or by gluing (for example using a polyurethane adhesive, hot melt adhesives and/or adhesive tape). In that case, the covering unit need only be sealed on one side by an adhesive film bandage.
  • the covering unit in the interest of simple application of the covering unit, expediently, it has a sliding friction coefficient in the range between 0.7 and 1.2, measured according to ASTM 1894-08. In this respect, sufficient stability of the covering unit can be achieved if the static friction coefficient is between 0.8 and 1.5, particularly preferred between 1 and 1.25, measured according to ASTM 1894-08. In this respect, furthermore, it has been found to be expedient if the elongation at rupture of the covering unit is more than 100%.
  • the application of the covering unit to the extremity bearing the wound can be further simplified if, after application to the wound, the often only very thin covering unit is provided with a support arrangement that is detachable from the wound, in particular a support film.
  • the support film with which the covering unit may be provided may be produced of transparent polyester or of a multilayer material (e.g. polyester core, bilaterally polyethylene coated) and be attached to the film-like covering unit by a lamination process. After introduction of the extremity affected by the wound into the covering unit and before sealing by adhesive film bandages, the support film must be detached, in order to assure a successful therapy process.
  • the suction connection of a wound care arrangement has an aspiration orifice which faces the wound space during use and, preferably designed as a tube stub, a connecting device for establishing a connection between the aspiration orifice and an aspiration tube, the tube stub being arranged on the side of the suction connection facing away from the wound space.

  • the drainage layer to be provided is attached to the contact surface, in particular glued, to the contact surface, welded, clamped and/or sewn to the contact surface.
  • the overall arrangement, consisting of suction connection and drainage layer, can then be positioned as a whole at the desired location on the filler material or the covering unit.
  • a wound care arrangement has a suction connection which has, in addition to an aspiration orifice used for suctioning off the exudate, an aeration orifice arranged in particular in the flanged contact area of the suction connection and used for aeration of the wound. Continuous introduction of air into the wound area, made possible by the aeration orifice, causes a controlled and continuous pressure drop during connection of a suction device to the aspiration orifice.
  • the removal of the exudate can be further improved.
  • the pump used for suctioning off the exudate then generates a greater through-flow and an improved suction effect. It is activated more frequently and suctions off more.

With a pore size of less than 0.001 ⁇ m, the desired aeration is impaired. With a pore size of more than 5 ⁇ m, it is almost impossible to attain the antibacterial effect.
  • the filter material may, in particular, contain polytetrafluoroethylene. The choice of the filter pore size also affects the air through-flow in the wound area, pore size reduction causing a reduction of the introduced air.
  • the wound care arrangement may also include, facing the aspiration orifice, a multilumen tube which may, in particular, comprise three lumens, only one of which is used for the suctioning of the exudate, another one for the controlled air supply and a third one for measuring the pressure directly at the wound.
