摘要:
A system for treating a linear wound on a patient has a closing dressingbolster (46) for placing on the patient's epidermisover the linear wound, a sealing subsystem (70) for providing a seal over theclosing dressing bolster and the patient, and areduced-pressure subsystem (90) for delivering reduced pressure to the sealingsubsystem. The sealing subsystem and reducedpressure subsystem are operable to deliver reduced pressure to the closingdressing bolster. The closing dressing bolster is operableunder reduced pressure to develop a inward closing force. The closing dressingbolster may include one or more closing members(56) on each side of a center wound area to create the inward closing whenunder reduced pressure. A compressive force mayalso be developed. Other systems and methods are presented.
