Abstract:
1. A device to manage effluent drainage from a wound such as a fistula, the wound including a wound opening, and a wound bed surrounding the wound opening, the device comprising: a liquid containment vessel having a first end and an interior volume defined by a sidewall configured to collapse from a first height to a second height less than the first height, the liquid containment vessel having an outer diameter at the first end, the first end defining a primary vessel opening providing liquid communication between the interior volume and the wound opening; a flexible and trimmable annular skirt depending from the first end of the vessel; and a wound sealing flange proximate the primary vessel opening, the flange having an outer diameter greater than the vessel outer diameter at the first end, wherein the device is configured to be applied to the wound bed such that the sidewall and the skirt surround the wound opening, the skirt at least partially extending around or within the wound opening, and the flange forms a seal around the wound opening, thereby physically isolating the wound opening from the wound bed.
