Wound treatment device
First Claim
1. A wound treatment device, comprising:
- a housing having a first open end for receiving a limb of a patient and a second closed end forming a chamber therebetween, wherein a portion of the housing is constructed from at least a flexible first sheet comprising a composite layer, said composite layer comprising a first polymer gas impermeable material layer coated with a second polymer gas impermeable material layer selected from the group consisting of ethyl vinyl acetate and polyethylene heat sealable material whereby said flexible first sheet is gas impermeable.

Abstract
A limb wound treatment device is described having a first end, a second end and an interior therebetween for accommodating a treatment gas. The device can include a flexible housing that can be inflated or a rigid housing. The first end can include an inflatable cuff seal for hermetically sealing against the limb being treated. The second end can include a closed end or an access port that is releasably sealed with a clamping mechanism. Further, the device can include a controller that can inflate that housing, inflate the cuff seal and provide treatment gas to the interior, in response to pressures within the cuff seal and the housing. Further, the device can accommodate different types of wound treatments, such as hyperbaric therapy, compression therapy or negative pressure therapy.
