Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to medical treatment systems and, more particularly but not by way of limitation, to re-epithelialization wound dressings and systems.
- the physiological process of wound healing involves different phases that may occur simultaneously or sequentially. As used herein, "or” does not require mutual exclusivity. Two phases of the wound healing process involve granulation (proliferation) and re-epthiliazation.
- a re-epithelialization dressing for use with reduced pressure includes a moist tissue-interface layer, a manifold member, and a sealing member.
- the moist tissue-interface layer is adapted to provide a moisture balance for the tissue and is formed with a plurality of apertures.

- the moist tissue-interface layer is adapted to provide a moisture balance for the tissue and is formed with a plurality of apertures.
- the manifold is operable to distribute reduced pressure and is disposed between the sealing member and the moist tissue-interface layer.
- the system further includes a reduced-pressure connector, a reduced-pressure delivery conduit, and a reduced-pressure source to provide reduced pressure to the re-epithelialization wound dressing.
- the reduced-pressure delivery conduit is operable to fluidly couple the reduced-pressure source to the reduced-pressure connector.

- FIGURE 1 is a schematic diagram with a portion in cross section of an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment of a system for treating a wound
- FIGURE 2 is a schematic detail of a portion of the illustrative, non-limiting embodiment of a system for treating a wound of FIGURE 1 shown without reduced pressure applied;
- FIGURE 3 is a schematic detail of a portion of the illustrative, non-limiting embodiment of a system for treating a wound of FIGURE 1 shown with reduced pressure applied;
- FIGURE 4 is a schematic detail of a portion of the illustrative, non-limiting embodiment of a system for treating a wound of FIGURE 1 shown with an absorber layer added.
- a wound treatment system 100 which includes a re-epithelialization dressing 102
- the re-epithelialization dressing 102 is shown deployed for treatment on a tissue site 104 and in particular a wound 106, or wound site.
- the wound 106 is shown extending through epidermis 108 and into subcutaneous tissue 110.
- the tissue site 104 may be the bodily tissue of any human, animal, or other organism, including bone tissue, adipose tissue, muscle tissue, dermal tissue, vascular tissue, connective tissue, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, or any other tissue.
- the wound treatment system 100 with the re-epithelialization dressing 102 promotes re-epithelialization of the wound 106 and may encourage migration of wound edges 112.
- the re-epithelialization, or epithelialization, phase of acute wound healing involves resurfacing of the wound 106 and changes in the wound edges 1 12.
- the process protects a patient's body from invasion by outside organisms and may occur concurrently with other phases if not restricted.
- the resurfacing aspect involves keratinocytes.
- keratinocytes form layers of the dermis and epidermis. Keratinocytes are derived from epidermal stem cells located in the bulge area of hair follicles and migrate from that location into the basal layers of epidermis. The keratinocytes proliferate and differentiate to produce epidermis and thereby replenish the epidermis.
- Keratinocytes may respond to signals released from growth factors, which may be in wound exudate, by advancing in a sheet to resurface a space. Because of this migration, a moist wound environment may speed or otherwise facilitate the migration of keratinocytes toward one another from the wound edges 112. The wound treatment system 100 promotes this re- epithelialization phase or process.
- the wound treatment system 100 includes a reduced-pressure connector 1 14 that may be associated with the re-epithelialization dressing 102 for providing reduced pressure to at least a portion of the re-epithelialization dressing 102.
- a reduced-pressure delivery conduit 116 may be fluidly coupled to the reduced-pressure connector 114 at a first end 1 18 and fluidly coupled to a reduced-pressure source 120 at a second end 122.
- One or more devices 124 may be fluidly coupled between the reduced-pressure connector 114 and the reduced-pressure source 120, such as on the reduced-pressure delivery conduit 1 16.
- the device or devices 124 that may be fluidly coupled to the reduced-pressure delivery conduit 1 16 include, for example, without limitation, a fluid reservoir (or collection member, to hold exudates and other fluids removed), a pressure-feedback device, a volume detection system, a blood detection system, an infection detection system, a flow monitoring system, a temperature monitoring system, or other device.
- the reduced-pressure source 120 provides reduced pressure as a part of the wound treatment system 100.
- reduced pressure generally refers to a pressure less than the ambient pressure at the tissue site 104 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 of tissue at the tissue site 104.
- vacuum and “negative pressure” may be used to describe the pressure applied to the tissue site, the actual pressure applied to the tissue site may be significantly more than the pressure normally associated with a complete vacuum. Unless otherwise indicated, values of pressure stated herein are gauge pressures.
- the reduced pressure delivered by the reduced-pressure source 120 may be constant or varied (patterned or random) and may be delivered continuously or intermittently.
- the reduced-pressure source 120 may be a battery-powered, reduced-pressure generator. This facilitates application in the operating room and provides mobility and convenience for the patient during the rehabilitation phase.
- Other sources of reduced pressure may be utilized, such as V.A.C. ® therapy unit, which is available from KCI of San Antonio, Texas, wall suction, or a mechanical unit.
- the reduced pressure developed by the reduced-pressure source 120 is delivered through the reduced-pressure delivery conduit 116, or medical conduit or tubing, to the reduced-pressure connector 114.
- An interposed hydrophobic membrane filter may be interspersed between the reduced-pressure delivery conduit 1 16 and the reduced-pressure source 120.
- the reduced- pressure source may be contained within the re-epithelialization dressing 102 and may be, for example, a micro-pump.
- the re-epithelialization dressing 102 may include a plurality of layers or materials.
- the re-epithelialization dressing 102 may include a moist tissue-interface layer 126, a support layer 128, a manifold member 130, and a sealing member 132.
- the sealing member 132 may be formed with a connector aperture 134 through which at least a portion of the reduced-pressure connector 1 14 extends.
- the reduced-pressure connector 114 is shown disposed in part between the sealing member 132 and the manifold member 130 and with a portion extending through the connector aperture 134.
- the re- epithelialization dressing 102 may have additional layers or fewer layers and the layers may be placed in differing combinations in some embodiments.
- the moist tissue-interface layer 126 has a first side 136 and a second, tissue- facing side 138.
- the moist tissue-interface layer 126 is formed with a first plurality of apertures 140, which may take any shape.
- the first plurality of apertures 140 extend through the moist tissue-interface layer 126.
- the first plurality of apertures 140 may be formed with a laser, punched, drilled, or formed by casting, or any other technique.
- the first plurality of apertures 140 may be formed with a uniform pattern or may be random and may have uniform or varied diameters.
- the first plurality of apertures 140 are formed with a uniform pattern with aperture centers 141 being formed with a distance 142 between adjacent aperture centers 141.
- the distance 142 is about two millimeters, three millimeters, four millimeters, five millimeters, six millimeters, seven millimeters, eight millimeters, nine millimeters, ten millimeters, or more.
- the distance 142 may be selected for the desired liquid transmission through the moist tissue- interface layer 126.
- the diameter of the first plurality of apertures 140 may also be selected so that when reduced pressure is applied and saturation occurs (at least in some embodiments), the first plurality of apertures 140 will not firmly collapse and seal but will become restricted to allow liquid to pass but to generally restrict the passing of gases through the first plurality of apertures 140. In other embodiments, the first plurality of apertures 140 may be sized to allow the first plurality of apertures 140 to close completely and firmly under the influence of reduced pressure. [0024]
- the moist tissue- interface layer 126 may be made from numerous materials.
- the moist tissue-interface layer 126 may be, for example, a water-based material, such as a hydrogel or hydrocolloid.
- the material from which the moist tissue-interface layer 126 is formed provides a fluid balance, or equilibrium, with respect to a desired moist condition.
- the material may provide moisture when needed (i.e., the tissue site 104 is dry) and will absorb moisture when needed (i.e., excessive moisture exists at the tissue site 104 or the tissue site 104 is substantially wet).
- the second, tissue-facing side 138 may be a relatively smooth surface as compared to a micro-strain inducing material, such as an open- cell foam.
- the relatively smooth surface of the second, tissue-facing side 138 helps to promote (or at least not hinder) cell migration.
- the relatively smooth surface of the second, tissue- facing side 138 may create little or no local micro-strain.
- the moist environment provided by the moist tissue-interface layer 126, fluid management of the first plurality of apertures 140, and the relatively smooth surface of the second, tissue-facing side 138 may encourage re-epithelialization of the wound 106.
- the moist tissue-interface layer 126 may be used for other materials, such as a very dense hydrophilic foam (e.g., a hydrophilic closed cell foam); a film-coated, perforated, non-woven material; a hydrogel-impregnated foam; a hydroactive dressing material, or other material.
- the hydrogel-impregnated foam may be particularly well suited for deeper wounds or difficult shapes.
- the moist tissue-interface layer 126 may be perforated or cut into sections that allow removal of one or more portions of the moist tissue-interface layer 126 in order to provide reduced pressure to a portion or the tissue site 104. An opening created by the removed section may help with a highly exudating wound or may promote granulation if desired in an area of the wound 106.
- the moist tissue-interface layer 126 will typically swell as the moist tissue-interface layer 126 receives fluid under reduced pressure. With sufficient fluid, the moist tissue-interface layer 126 may become saturated. As shown in FIGURE 3, the first plurality of apertures 140 may substantially swell to a restricted position, or state, as compared to the open position, or state, of FIGURE 2. The restricted position occurs when the moist tissue-interface layer 126 is substantially saturated. In the restricted position, the first plurality of apertures 140 will allow liquid to pass from the tissue site 104 through the first plurality of apertures 140 but will not substantially communicate reduced pressure through the first plurality of apertures 140.
- re-epithelialization dressing 102 will remove fluid from the first side 136 of the moist tissue-interface layer 126 once the moist tissue- interface layer 126 becomes saturated or substantially saturated. Some liquids or moisture, e.g., exudates, will remain at the wound 106 and may possibly assist in the healing process by providing signals.
- the re-epithelialization dressing 102 may include an optional support layer 128.
- the support layer 128 has a first side 144 and a second, tissue-facing side 146.
- the second, tissue-facing side 146 is disposed adjacent to the first side 136 of the moist tissue- interface layer 126.
- the moist tissue-interface layer 126 and the support layer 128 may be coupled.
- the term “coupled” includes coupling via a separate object and includes direct coupling.
- the term “coupled” also encompasses two or more components that are continuous with one another by virtue of each of the components being formed from the same piece of material.
- the term “coupled” may include chemical, such as via a chemical bond, mechanical, thermal, or electrical coupling.
- the term “coupled” may include any known technique, including, without limitation, welding (e.g., ultrasonic or RF welding), bonding, adhesives, cements, or other techniques or devices. Fluid coupling means that fluid is in communication between the designated parts or locations
- the support layer 128 is optional but may be added to provide support for the moist tissue-interface layer 126. As shown best by comparing FIGURES 2 and 3, the support layer 128 may help hold a first end 148 of the first plurality of apertures 140 in an open position or with a set diameter while other portions may be further restricted as part of the restricted state.
- the support layer 128 may be formed from numerous materials, such as an occlusive film material.
- the support layer 128 may be, for example, a polyurethane layer, a polyethylene layer, or other support material.
- the support layer 128 may help direct fluid flow and provide support, particularly for the first plurality of apertures 140, as previously mentioned.
- the support layer 128 may be formed with a second plurality of apertures 150.
- the second plurality of apertures 150 may align and correspond with the first plurality of apertures 140.
- the second plurality of apertures 150 may be formed in the same or similar manner as the first plurality of apertures 140.
- the re-epithelialization dressing 102 includes the manifold member 130.
- the manifold member 130 has a first side 152 and a second, tissue-facing side 154.
- the manifold member 130 may be formed from any material that distributes fluids, including reduced pressure.
- the term "manifold” as used herein generally refers to a substance or structure that is provided to assist in applying reduced pressure to, delivering fluids to, or removing fluids from a tissue site 104.
- the manifold member 130 typically includes a plurality of flow channels or pathways that distribute fluids provided to and removed from the tissue site 104 around the manifold member 130. In one illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, the flow channels or pathways are interconnected to improve distribution of fluids provided or removed from the tissue site 104.
- the manifold member 130 may include, for example, without limitation, devices that have structural elements arranged to form flow channels, such as, for example, cellular foam, open-cell foam, porous tissue collections, liquids, gels, and foams that include, or cure to include, flow channels.
- the manifold member 130 may be porous and may be made from foam, gauze, felted mat, or any other material suited to a particular biological application.
- the manifold member 130 is a porous foam and includes a plurality of interconnected cells or pores that act as flow channels.
- the porous foam may be a polyurethane, open-cell, reticulated foam, such as GranuFoam® material manufactured by Kinetic Concepts, Incorporated of San Antonio, Texas. Other embodiments may include "closed cells.”
- a manifold member 130 is formed of a non-woven material, such as a non-woven material available from Libeltex BVBA of Belgium.
- the second, tissue-facing side 154 of the manifold member 130 is disposed adjacent to the first side 144 of the support layer 128 in one illustrative, non-limiting embodiment or adjacent to the first side 136 of the moist tissue-interface layer 126 in another illustrative, non-limiting embodiment.
- the re-epithelialization dressing 102 includes the sealing member 132.
- the sealing member 132 has a first side 158 and a second, tissue-facing side 160.
- the sealing member 132 forms a sealed space over the tissue site 104 or wound 106.
- the second, tissue- facing side 160 is disposed adjacent to and may be coupled to the first side 152 of the manifold member 130 or another layer.
- the sealing member 132 may be formed from any material that provides a fluid seal. "Fluid seal,” or "seal,” means a seal adequate to maintain reduced pressure at a desired site given the particular reduced-pressure source or subsystem involved.
- the sealing member may, for example, be an impermeable or semi-permeable, elastomeric material.
- Elastomeric means having the properties of an elastomer.
- Elastomeric generally refers to a polymeric material that has rubber-like properties. More specifically, most elastomers have ultimate elongations greater than 100% and a significant amount of resilience. The resilience of a material refers to the material's ability to recover from an elastic deformation.
- elastomers may include, but are not limited to, natural rubbers, polyisoprene, styrene butadiene rubber, chloroprene rubber, polybutadiene, nitrile rubber, butyl rubber, ethylene propylene rubber, ethylene propylene diene monomer, chlorosulfonated polyethylene, polysulfide rubber, polyurethane, EVA film, co-polyester, and silicones.
- sealing member materials include a silicone drape, 3M Tegaderm® drape, acrylic drape, such as one available from Avery Dennison, or an incise drape.
- the re-epithelialization dressing 102 may have an optional absorbent layer 162, or absorber, disposed between the sealing member 132 and the manifold member 130 or other layers.
- the absorbent layer 162 has a first side 164 and a second, tissue- facing side 166.
- the first side 164 may be coupled to the second, tissue- facing side 160 of the sealing member 132 and the second, tissue-facing side 166 of the absorbent layer 162 may be coupled to the first side 152 of the manifold member 130.
- the absorbent layer 162 functions primarily to store or maintain fluids.
- the absorbent layer 162 may be formed from super-absorbent polymers (SAP) or other materials suited for retaining fluids within the re-epithelialization dressing 102.
- SAP super-absorbent polymers
- the material and thickness of the material forming the absorbent layer 162 may be selected based on the desired quantity of fluid to be retained.
- the absorbent layer 162 may be formed from one or more constituent layers.
- the tissue site 104 may be treated with the wound treatment system 100 by deploying the re-epithelialization dressing 102.
- the re-epithelialization dressing 102 is placed adjacent to the wound 106 and a portion of the patient's intact epidermis 108.
- the reduced-pressure connector 1 14 is fluidly coupled to the re- epithelialization dressing 102 to provide reduced pressure and, if not already deployed, the sealing member 132 is deployed over other portions of the re-epithelialization dressing 102.
- the second, tissue-facing side 138 of the moist tissue-interface layer 126 is thus disposed adjacent to the wound 106 and a portion of the intact epidermis 108 as shown in FIGURE 1.
- the second, tissue-facing side 138 presents a moist, smooth surface to the wound 106 and the wound edges 1 12.
- the reduced-pressure delivery conduit 116 is fluidly coupled to the reduced-pressure connector 1 14 and to the reduced-pressure source 120.
- the reduced-pressure source 120 is activated and reduced pressure is thereby supplied to the re- epithelialization dressing 102.
- the reduced pressure may help to hold the re-epithelialization dressing 102 in situ, may help avoid any fluid leaks from the re-epithelialization dressing 102, may help avoid infection, and may help to manage fluids.
- the reduced pressure provided to the re-epithelialization dressing 102 is in the range of -10 to -100 mm Hg and more typically in the range of -25 to -75 mm Hg.
- the reduced pressure is adequate to cause a flow of fluid, but is not typically high enough to cause substantial micro-strain at the tissue site 104.
- the reduced pressure may be between the range of -10 mm Hg and -200 mm Hg.
- the reduced pressure may be in the range of -100 to -200 mm Hg for an initial time period and then be in the range of -25 to -100 mm Hg for a second time period. Other variations are possible as desired.
- the first plurality of apertures 140 may go immediately or over time with saturation from an open position (FIGURE 2) to a restricted position or state (FIGURE 3). In the restricted state, the first plurality of apertures 140 may allow liquids to pass, but prevent or restrict gases (and gaseous pressure) from being transmitted. The re-epithelialization dressing 102 may thereby exert a force on the tissue site 104 without communicating gaseous pressure. If included, the support layer 128 may hold the first end 148 of the first plurality of apertures 140 substantially open or with a constant diameter.
- the reduced pressure delivered to the re-epithelialization dressing 102 helps to remove excess fluids from the tissue site 104 and helps to remove fluids from the moist tissue- interface layer 126 when the moist tissue-interface layer 126 becomes substantially saturated.
- the fluid balance, or equilibrium, of the moist tissue-interface layer 126 also helps manage fluid in that the moist tissue-interface layer 126 provides fluid when the tissue site 104 is dry or helps absorb fluids when the tissue site 104 is wet.
- the fluid removal by the moist tissue- interface layer 126 may be slowly accomplished to allow some exudate (but not pooling of exudate) to remain at the tissue site 104 to facilitate the healing process.
- the exudate may help by allowing signaling (e.g., from growth factors) to activate keratinocytes as previously mentioned.
- the moist tissue- interface layer 126 also provides a relatively smooth surface against the tissue site 104 that may facilitate (or at least not inhibit) cell migration. In addition to providing a relatively smooth moist surface, the moist tissue-interface layer 126 may be left for extended periods of time against the tissue site 104 without granulation in-growth, infection, or the need for frequent dressing changes.
