Abstract
A wound healing device and method that greatly reduces the risk of infection of an incision or wound by removing fluid from the subcutaneous skin layers. The wound healing device includes a first portion that is positioned external of, and on top of, the wound. At least one strip, cord, finger, member is in fluid communication at one end with the first portion while the second free end of the at least one strip, cord, finger, member is pushed down into the wound, in between the sutures or staples of a closed incision. Both the first portion and the at least one strip comprise fluid absorbable material for absorbing the wound fluid. The device remains in place for approximately 1-3 days after which it is removed. Upon removal, natural temporary 'type of fistulae' are formed in the subcutaneous skin layers to continue draining wound fluids upward for another 1-2 days.
