Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods and devices for treatment of damaged tissue are disclosed, including treatment of wounds by employing non-electrically powered, reduced pressure therapy devices. Maintenance and control of the sub atmospheric pressure exerted may be provided by such devices while minimizing discomfort to the user. The devices may be configured to be worn inconspicuously underneath clothing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed: 1. A mechanically chargeable reduced pressure therapy device, comprising: a chamber with a spring retainer therein; a sliding seal residing in the chamber and configured to form a sliding seal with the chamber, the sliding seal comprising a central opening and at least one curved surface; two springs with opposing positions and configured to act on different regions of the at least one curved surface; a rod member configured to push the sliding seal in the chamber; and a valve configured to selectively permit fluid communication with the chamber. 2. The mechanically chargeable reduced pressure therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the mechanically chargeable reduced pressure therapy device is a multi-chamber device. 3. The mechanically chargeable reduced pressure therapy device of claim 1 , wherein the sliding seal further comprises a seal and a seal mount. 4. The mechanically chargeable reduced pressure therapy device of claim 3 , wherein the sliding seal further comprises a space between the seal and the seal mount. 5. The mechanically chargeable reduced pressure therapy device of claim 4 , wherein the space is configured to receive a portion of each of the two springs. 6. A mechanically chargeable reduced pressure therapy device, comprising: a chamber with a spring retainer therein; a sliding seal residing in the chamber and configured to form a sliding seal with the chamber, the sliding seal comprising a central opening, a seal, and a seal mount; two springs with opposing positions and configured to act on different regions of the sliding seal, wherein a space between the seal and the seal mount receives a portion of each of the two springs; a rod member configured to push the sliding seal in the chamber; and a valve configured to selectively permit fluid communication with the chamber. 7. The mechanically chargeable reduced pressure therapy device of claim 6 , wherein the mechanically chargeable reduced pressure therapy device is a multi-chamber device.
