Abstract:
1. A reduced-pressure treatment system for debriding a tissue site on a patient, the system comprising: a manifold member formed from a porous material that contracts in response to reduced pressure; a support member coupled to the manifold member; a pincer including a first blade and a second blade, each having a proximal end coupled to the support member and a distal end for positioning at the tissue site, the distal end being moveable for debriding the tissue site in response to the manifold member when contracting; a sealing drape for placing over the tissue site and manifold member and operable to form a fluid seal over the tissue site for application of reduced pressure to the manifold member; and a reduced-pressure subsystem for delivering a reduced pressure through the sealing drape to the manifold; wherein the distal ends of the first blade and a second blade move between an open and closed position under the influence of the reduced pressure.
