Patent ID: 8900268

Claim:
An endoscopic wound care treatment system for treatment of an internal cavity of a patient, comprising: a vacuum component providing a negative pressure source disposed on a proximal end of a fluid communication means, the fluid communication means in the form of a tube; an endoscopic component in fluid communication with the vacuum component, the endoscopic component including: a fluid collecting means, said collecting means being fixedly connected to said fluid communication means, and said collecting means being adapted to collect and guide fluid to the fluid communication means; an introducer including an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve, the introducer being adapted for introducing and positioning the collecting means within an internal organ, cavity or tissue abscess, wherein the outer sleeve of the introducer is configured to introduce the collecting means within the internal organ, cavity, or tissue abscess and the inner sleeve of the introducer is disposed within the outer sleeve and is configured to position the collecting means within the internal organ, cavity, or tissue abscess and the inner sleeve having a lumen larger than the diameter of the fluid communication means; and the collecting means being disposed on a distal end of said fluid communication means, said collecting means having an outer surface defining a three-dimensional structure, the collecting means uncovered over the outer surface and configured such that negative pressure produced by the vacuum component is evenly distributed over the outer surface.
