Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Appurtenances to wound dressings can include: a substrate configured to attach to a wound dressing; a fluid-activated voltaic cell attached to the substrate; a transmission unit attached to a surface of the substrate, the transmission unit including circuitry and at least one antenna, the transmission unit configured to transmit a signal in response to current generated by the fluid-activated voltaic cell; and a projection operably attached to the fluid-activated voltaic cell, the projection of a size and shape to extend into an interior region of the wound dressing and configured to sample a fluid within the interior region of the wound dressing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An appurtenance to a wound dressing, comprising: a substrate configured to attach to a wound dressing; a fluid-activated voltaic cell attached to the substrate, the fluid-activated voltaic cell including an internal region having at least two electrodes, the internal region of the fluid-activated cell being configured to receive a fluid from an interior region of the wound dressing, the fluid-activated voltaic cell being further configured to generate elec…
