A method, and apparatus for the controlled acceleration, and/or retardation of the body's inflammatory response generally comprises a foam pad for insertion substantially into a wound site, a heating, a cooling pad for application over the wound site, a wound drape or sealing enclosure of the foam pad, the heating, and cooling pad at wound site. The foam pad is placed in fluid communication with a vacuum source for promotion of the controlled acceleration or retardation of the body's inflammatory response. The heating, and cooling provision controls the local metabolic function as part of the inflammatory response.

Negative pressure treatment system with heating and cooling provision

An apparatus and method for the controlled acceleration, and/or retardation of the body's inflammatory response comprises a foam pad for insertion into a wound site, a drape covering the foam pad, and a thermal control element configured to be placed proximate the wound site. The foam pad is placed in fluid communication with a vacuum source for promotion of the controlled acceleration or retardation of the body's inflammatory response. The thermal control element has a pair of flexible sheets for receiving a thermally conductive fluid.
