Patent ID: 8409157

Claim:
A wound dressing system, comprising: a wound dressing member dimensioned for positioning relative to a wound bed, the wound dressing member including an outer member defining an internal vacuum reservoir and having a port in communication with the vacuum reservoir, the outer member having an access door mounted thereto, the access door selectively movable between a closed position substantially enclosing the vacuum reservoir and an open position permitting access to the vacuum reservoir; and a source of vacuum in fluid communication with the port for applying subatmospheric pressure to the vacuum reservoir to facilitate treatment of the wound bed and removal of fluid from the wound bed, wherein the wound dressing member includes a packing member positionable adjacent the wound bed, wherein the wound dressing member includes a visual pressure indicator for indicating a level of pressure within the vacuum reservoir, wherein the visual pressure indicator includes color indicia, the color indicia corresponding to a condition of the subatmospheric pressure within the vacuum reservoir.
