Abstract

A soft collecting bag 1 for a negative pressure wound therapy system has a liquid absorber 20 and one or more ventilation ports (13, figure 1) covered on the inside by a gas permeable membrane (14, figure 1). The collecting bag can be connected to a wound-dressing unit 51 via an inlet connecting tube 31 and connected to a pressure sensor 53 via a detecting connecting tube 41. The inlet incorporates a water-resisting membrane (15, figure 1). A pump 52 draws exudates from the wound and directs them into the collecting bag until the pressure sensor detects that the bag is full. Multiple bags can be linked together by intermediary connecting sets (60, figure 3). Preferably the liquid absorber 20 is made from polyvinyl alcohol or super absorbent polymer.

Description

COLLECTOR FOR A NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY
SYSTEM AND ITS COMBINATION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates a collector, especially to a collector used for a negative pressure wound therapy system.
2. Description of the Prior Arts
Negative pressure wound therapy utilizes wound sheets, soft suction pads, or biocompatibility pore materials to attach on the wounds and connects to a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump creates negative pressure in the wound to extract the pus and infection subjects and to thaw the healthy tissue fluid so that a moist therapy environment is maintained. Therefore, the blood circulation around the wound is promoted to accelerate wound healing.
A conventional negative pressure wound therapy systems has a conventional collector connecting to a front end of the vacuum pump to extract the pus and the infection subjects into the collector. Because the vacuum pump needs to create a negative pressure environment in the wound through the conventional collector, the conventional collector must be a rigid container to keep from deforming. However, the rigid container occupies a fixed space.
Therefore, the conventional collector is not convenient to be stowed and be carried. Moreover, the conventional collector with full pus and infection subjects needs to be treated as a medical waste. The medical wastes have specialized treatment so that the conventional collectors, which are rigid containers, increase the volume of the medical wastes.
To overcome the shortcomings, the present invention provides a collector for a negative pressure wound therapy system and its combination to mitigate or obviate the aforementioned problems.
The main objective of the present invention is to provide a soft collector for a negative pressure wound therapy system to be carried and disposed conveniently. The collector has a soft collecting bag with a gas-permeable unit and a liquid absorbet The collecting bag is connected to a wound-dressing unit via an inlet connecting set and is connected to a sensor assembly via a detecting connecting set. With the soft collecting bag, the collector occupies less volume. By the gas-permeable unit and the liquid absorber, the liquid and gas entering into the collecting bag quickly isolate.
Moreover, multiple collectors connect in series to form a collector combination to reduce the frequency to replace the collector combination so that a longer usage time of the collector combination is available.
Other objectives, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
IN THE DRAWINGS
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a collector for a negative pressure wound therapy system in accordance with the present invention; Fig. 2 is an exploded perspective view of the negative pressure wound therapy system with the collector in Fig. 1; and Fig. 3 is a top view of a collector combination for a negative pressure wound therapy system in accordance with the present invention.
With reference to Fig. 1, a collector 1 for a negative pressure wound therapy system in accordance with the present invention comprises a collecting bag 10, an absorber 20, an inlet connecting set 30 and a detecting connecting set 40.
The collecting bag 10 is a soft bag and has a front end opening 11, a rear end opening 12, a water-resisting membrane 15 and at least one gas permeable unit. The water-resisting membrane 15 is mounted in the front end opening 11 to stop the liquid in the collecting bag 10 from blowing back. Each gas permeable unit is attached to a corresponding side of the collecting bag 10 and comprises a through hole 13 and a gas permeable membrane 14. The through hole 13 is formed through the corresponding side of the collecting bag 10. The gas permeable membrane 14 is attached to an inside surface of the corresponding side and covers the through hole 13 to allow the gas in the collecting bag 10 to dissipate out without leaking the liquid inside the collecting bag. In a preferred embodiment, the collecting bag 10 has two gas permeable units arranged separately and diagonally to advance dissipation of the gas in the collecting bag 10.
The liquid absorber 20 is mounted in the collecting bag 10. In a preferred embodiment, the liquid absorber 20 is attached securely in the collecting bag 10 by high frequency welding. The liquid absorber 20 is made of polymer absorbing materials such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), super absorbent polymer (SAP) and so on. The liquid absorber 20 takes in the liquid in the collecting bag 10 and may be U-shaped.
The inlet connecting set 30 is mounted in the front end opening 11 of the collecting bag 10 and comprises a connecting tube 31 and a connector 32 joining together. The connecting tube 31 is inserted in the front end opening 11.
The detecting connecting set 40 is mounted in the rear end opening 12 of the collecting bag 10 and comprises a gas penneable connector 41 inserted into the rear end opening 12 to allow gas to pass through so that the positive pressure in the collecting bag 10 is detectable.
With reference to Fig. 2, the collector 1 as described is a part of the negative pressure wound therapy system. The connector 32 is connected to the outlet of the actuator 52. The inlet of the actuator 52 is connected to the wound-dressing unit 51. The gas permeable connector 41 is connected to the sensor assembly 53. The sensor assembly 53 joins to the actuator 52 and electrically connects to the controller 54. Since the actuator 52 is connected between the wound-dressing unit 51 and the collector 1, the actuator 52 only creates a negative environment in the wound, and the collector 1 is a positive pressure environment.
The wound-dressing unit 51 is attached to the user's wound. When the negative pressure wound therapy system is started, the actuator 52 creates a negative environment in the wound and to extract pus and infection subjects.
The pus and infection subjects pass through the actuator 52 and flows into the collecting bag 10. The liquid in the pus and the infection subjects are absorbed by the liquid absorber 20 to depart the liquid and the gas. The gas dissipates out of the collecting bag 10 through the gas permeable membrane 14. Therefore, the rest space in the collecting bag 10 can contain more liquid. Furthermore, because most of the liquid is absorbed in the liquid absorber 20, the rest space in the collecting bag 10 acts as cushion to keep the collecting bag 10 from breaking when over stressed.
The collector 1 as described has other following advantages. With a soft collecting bag 10, the collector 1 is convenient to be stowed and carried and reduces the wasted volume. Moreover, because of the water-resisting membrane 15 and the insertion of the connecting assembles 30, 40, the liquid in the collecting bag 10 does not leak so that the collecting bag 10 is available to be put in any way such as upside-down.
With reference to Fig. 3, a collector combination in accordance with the present invention comprises multiple collectors 1. The collectors 1 connect in series to form a continuous flowing passage. Adjacent collectors 1 connect to each other by an intermediary connecting set 60. The collecting bag 10 of the first collector 1 in the flowing passage connects to the inlet connecting set 30 to connect to the wound-dressing unit. The collecting bag 10 of the last collector 1 in the flowing passage connects to the detecting connecting set 40 to connect to the sensor assembly. With the series connection, the user can use multiple collectors to contain more liquid. Therefore, the replacing frequency of the collector combination is reduced and the negative pressure wound therapy system has longer usage time.
Even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and features of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only.
Changes may be made in the details, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the full extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.
