Abstract
A wound therapy apparatus is disclosed herein. In various aspects, the wound therapy apparatus may include a distal layer to contact a wound bed, the distal layer comprised of silicone, and fenestrations disposed about the distal layer pass between a distal side of the distal layer and a proximal side of the distal layer to communicate between the distal side and the proximal side. A pad may cooperate with the proximal side of the distal layer to receive exudate communicated through the distal layer from the wound bed via the fenestrations, in various aspects. Various materials including medicament(s) may be communicated to the wound bed through the distal layer via the fenestrations, in various aspects. A structural member may be included in various aspects to secure the distal layer and pad to a skin surface, in various aspects. Methods of use of the wound therapy apparatus are disclosed herein. This Abstract is presented to meet requirements of 37 C.F.R. § 1.72(b) only, and is not intended to identify key elements of the apparatus, methods, and compositions of matter disclosed herein or to delineate the scope thereof.
