Abstract

A vacuum sealing drainage device for a bleeding wound tissue, includes a multi-hole foam cushion ( 1 ) contacted with the bleeding wound tissue, a drainage pipe ( 2 ) with a side hole, a sealing film ( 3 ), a connector ( 4 ), a duct ( 17 ), a drainage container ( 5 ), and a vacuum source ( 6 ). The device further includes a glue film ( 7 ) and an leading-out pipe ( 8 ). The glue film ( 7 ) is disposed above the multi-hole foam cushion ( 1 ). An opening of the side hole of the drainage pipe ( 2 ) is contacted with the multi-hole foam cushion ( 1 ). The leading-out pipe ( 8 ) is connected to the drainage pipe ( 2 ), and is disposed above the glue film ( 7 ). The sealing film ( 3 ) is sealed on the glue film ( 7 ). The leading-out pipe ( 8 ) is received in the drainage container ( 5 ) via the duct ( 17 ), and the drainage container ( 5 ) is connected to the vacuum source ( 6 ) via the duct ( 17 ). The device increases time of maintaining elasticity and a humid environment for the multi-hole foam cushion, which is helpful for wound healing. The sealing and drainage thereof are convenient and reliable.
