1. A device for promoting healing of a wound, comprisinga. a wound filler adapted to be placed over the wound;
- b. a fluid impermeable cover adapted to enclose the wound filler and the wound, wherein the periphery of the fluid impermeable cover is adapted to be sealed to tissue surrounding the wound;
c. a vacuum system adapted to apply a sub-atmospheric pressure to the wound, wherein the vacuum system is operably in communication with the wound filler;
d. a gas supply system adapted to apply a gaseous wound healing agent to the wound, wherein the gas supply system is operably in communication with the wound filler; and
e. a controller adapted for connection with the vacuum system and the gas supply system to control the application of the sub-atmospheric pressure and the application of the gaseous wound healing agent to the wound.
