1. An appurtenance to a cavity wound dressing for a cavity wound, the appurtenance comprising:
- a substrate configured to be positioned inside the cavity wound, the substrate including, at least one wound-facing surface, the wound-facing surface configured to be oriented facing a wound surface of the cavity wound; and
at least one cavity-facing surface facing away from the wound surface and defining an interior space within the substrate and the cavity wound that is sized and configured to contain the cavity wound dressing therein, wherein the substrate is distinct from the cavity wound dressing;
an edge region including at least one surface configured to be oriented away from the wound surface and at least one surface configured to be oriented facing a periwound region of the cavity wound; and
a plurality of sensor units attached to the substrate, the plurality of sensors including at least one temperature sensor attached to the edge region;
wherein the at least one wound-facing surface is configured to press against the wound surface with a pressure of less than 32 mm Hg (4.3 kPa) when the edge region contacts the periwound region of the cavity wound.
