  • embodiments of this disclosure relate to negative pressure therapy apparatuses, methods for controlling the operation of TNP systems, and methods of using TNP systems.
  • the methods and apparatuses can incorporate or implement any combination of the features described below.
  • TNP therapy sometimes referred to as vacuum assisted closure, negative pressure wound therapy, or reduced pressure wound therapy, can be a beneficial mechanism for improving the healing rate of a wound.
  • Such therapy is applicable to a broad range of wounds such as incisional wounds, open wounds and abdominal wounds or the like.
  • TNP therapy can assist in the closure and healing of wounds by reducing tissue oedema, encouraging blood flow, stimulating the formation of granulation tissue, removing excess exudates, and reducing bacterial load and thus, infection to the wound. Furthermore, TNP therapy can permit less outside disturbance of the wound and promote more rapid healing.
  • reduced or negative pressure levels represent pressure levels that are below atmospheric pressure, which typically corresponds to 760 mmHg (or 1 atm, 29.93 inHg, 101.325 kPa, 14.696 psi, etc.).
  • a negative pressure value of -X mmHg reflects pressure that is X mmHg below atmospheric pressure, such as a pressure of (760-X) mmHg.
  • negative pressure that is "less” or "smaller” than -X mmHg corresponds to pressure that is closer to atmospheric pressure (e.g., -40 mmHg is less than -60 mmHg).
  • Negative pressure that is "more” or “greater” than -X mmHg corresponds to pressure that is further from atmospheric pressure (e.g., -80 mmHg is more than -60 mmHg).
  • the user interfaces of some TNP apparatuses may have a limited elements through which a user can provide user input.
  • particular user interfaces may include just a single element usable by the user to stop and start delivery of negative pressure, and the user may not be able to replace or interchange the single element with another element.
  • These particular user interfaces can desirably be easier to construct and operate than more complicated user interfaces having numerous elements.
  • the particular user interfaces may present a problem if the single element experiences a fault (for example, a failure) and is no longer able to function to receive user input.
  • the user of the particular user interfaces may undesirably be unable to start delivery of negative pressure if negative pressure is not already being provided and stop delivery of negative pressure if negative pressure is being provided.
  • the situation of a user being unable to stop delivery of negative pressure can additionally introduce risks to the healing of a wound of a patient. If the patient experiences discomfort from the wound dressing during delivery of negative pressure and the single element experiences is no longer able to function to receive user input, the patient may be forced to remove the wound dressing to terminate delivery of negative pressure. The removal of the wound dressing can damage the wound of the patient and hinder any healing trajectory that was already progressed, as well as exposing the wound to external contaminants due to a loss of protection from the wound dressing.
  • a TNP apparatus with the single element usable by the user to stop and start delivery of negative pressure can include another mechanism, such as another redundant mechanism, to stop delivery of negative pressure.
  • a header circuit with four circuits could be used, and each pair of circuits could be used to deactivate operation by one or more means.
  • One pair of the circuit could be used to connect to a power supply of the TNP apparatus, and the other pair of circuits could be used to connect to an enable signal (for example, a control circuitry enable signal).
  • an enable signal for example, a control circuitry enable signal
  • a surface mount technology (SMT) pin header could be used.
  • the another mechanism can, for instance, be an activating part molded in a film that may be welded to the wound dressing so that the activating mechanism may not be easily lost. Additionally or alternatively, the locking mechanism of a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector may be used to improve retention.
  • the activating mechanism can, in another example, be a printed circuit board (PCB), such as a flexible PCB, built into a film for insertion.
  • the activating mechanism can, in yet another example, include a conductive label that completes the circuit when attached and is removable to stop delivery of negative pressure.
  • a tab may additionally or alternatively be used, and the tab may, for instance, be pulled to disrupt a power supply for the TNP apparatus (such as to remove a battery) or pulled to rip an aperture in the wound dressing (such as by pulling a tab on an outside of the wound dressing) to force a gross leak that causes termination of delivery of negative pressure.
