Flat-hose assembly for wound drainage system
First Claim
1. A flat-hose assembly having a proximal end and a distal end adapted for use with a negative pressure wound drainage system, the flat-hose assembly comprising:
- a top layer;
a bottom layer forming an opening at the distal end of the flat-hose assembly allowing exudates of a wound to flow into the flat-hose assembly; and
a filter layer disposed between the top layer and the bottom layer;
wherein the top and bottom layer form a seal area along a periphery of the top layer and the bottom layer sealing the filter layer therebetween.

Abstract
A flat-hose assembly has a proximal end and a distal end adapted for use with a negative pressure wound drainage system. The flat-hose assembly comprises a top layer, a bottom layer, and a filter layer. The bottom layer forms an opening at the distal end of the flat-hose assembly to allow exudates of a wound to flow into the flat-hose assembly. The filter layer is disposed between the top layer and the bottom layer. The top and bottom layer form a seal area along a periphery of the top layer and the bottom layer to seal the filter layer therebetween.

15. A closed wound drainage system comprising:
-
a wound dressing adapted to be positioned over a wound area of a patient, the wound dressing forming a first opening over the wound area; a flat-hose assembly having a top layer, a bottom layer, a filter layer, a first hose fitting, and a second hose fitting, the filter layer being positioned between the top layer and the bottom layer, the bottom layer forming a second opening adapted to align with the first opening of the wound dressing; a collection bag in communication with the flat-hose assembly, the collection bag adapted to collect material from the wound drawn through the flat-hose assembly; and a vacuum pump to apply negative pressure to the wound, the vacuum pump in communication with the collection bag and the flat-hose assembly. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A flat-hose assembly adapted for use with a negative pressure wound drainage system, the flat-hose assembly having a proximal end and a distal end and comprising:
-
a top layer forming a first opening and a second opening therethrough at the proximal end of the top layer, the openings being adapted to apply negative pressure to the flat-hose assembly; a bottom layer forming a third opening at the distal end of the bottom layer, the third opening allowing exudates of a wound to flow into the flat-hose assembly; a filter layer disposed between the top layer and the bottom layer, the filter layer being adapted to prevent contact between the top layer and the bottom layer other than at a periphery of the top layer and the bottom layer, the filter layer further adapted to trap large particles of exudates from a wound within the flat-hose assembly, the top layer and the bottom layer forming a seal area along a periphery of the top layer and the bottom layer sealing the filter layer therebetween; a first hose fitting protruding through a first opening formed in the distal end of the top layer adapted to connect the flat-hose assembly to the negative pressure wound drainage system; a second hose fitting protruding through a second opening formed in the distal end of the top layer adapted to connect the flat-hose assembly to the negative pressure wound drainage system; and an adhesive adapted to connect the flat-hose assembly to a wound dressing of the wound drainage system. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24)
