Triple modality wound treatment device
First Claim
1. A wound treatment device, comprising:
- a housing having a closed end and an open end configured to seal against a limb, said housing defining an interior region for treatment of the limb;
at least two adjacent compartments formed within the interior region of the housing separated by a divider cuff, said at least two compartments in communication with one another by an opening in the divider cuff, said divider cuff configured to seal said opening against the limb for isolating said at least two compartments from one another within the interior region, said at least two compartments forming first and second treatment chambers within the housing each having an interior for receiving the limb; and
a seal adjacent said open end for sealing against the limb.

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.

8. A wound treatment device, comprising:
-
a housing having a closed end and an open end configured to seal against a limb, said housing defining an interior region for treatment of the limb; a plurality of separate compartments within the interior region of said housing separated by a plurality of inflatable divider cuffs, said divider cuffs each having an opening for receiving the limb and configured to seal said opening against the limb for isolating said plurality of separate compartments from one another, whereby said compartments form separate treatment chambers within the housing for receiving the limb, and wherein each of the inflatable divider cuffs is coupled to a valve for inflation; and a seal adjacent said open end for sealing against the limb. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12)

21. A wound treatment device, comprising:
-
a flexible housing having a closed end and an open end, said housing defining an interior region for treatment of a limb, said open end including a cuff seal adjacent thereto for sealing against the limb; at least one divider cuff having a cuff opening within the interior region of said housing spaced from said cuff seal defining first and second adjacent compartments in communication with one another through said cuff opening, said divider cuff having said cuff opening for receiving the limb extending between said first and second compartments, said divider cuff configured for sealing said cuff opening about the limb thereby isolating said first and second compartments from each other within the housing. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. A wound treatment device, comprising:
-
a housing having a closed end and an open end configured to receive a limb, said housing defining an interior region for treatment of the limb; a cuff seal adjacent the open end of the housing for sealing against the limb; and at least one divider cuff having an opening for receiving the limb and arranged within the interior region of the housing between the closed end and the cuff seal, said divider cuff separating the interior region into two adjacent compartments in communication with one another through said opening, said divider cuff configured to seal said opening against the limb for isolating said two compartments from one another for treatment of the limb within an interior of said two compartments. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)
