Wound care method and system with one or both of vacuum-light therapy and thermally augmented oxygenation

1. A combination therapy pad comprising:

a first layer;

a second layer operatively coupled to the first layer;

a fiber-optic array disposed between the first layer and the second layer;

a third layer operatively coupled to the first layer, the third layer having a vacuum tube in fluid communication with a vacuum source and a therapeutic fluid tube in fluid communication with a therapeutic fluid source; and

wherein the third layer provides at least one of vacuum therapy and therapeutic fluid treatment to a wound area;

wherein a recessed central area is defined within the third layer;

and an antenna is disposed substantially around a perimeter of the recessed central area that receives pulse radio-frequency signals to be provided to the wound area.

2. The combination therapy pad of claim 1 , wherein:

the first layer comprises a first central gap;

the second layer comprises a second central gap substantially aligned with the first central gap; and

at least a portion of the fiber-optic array is disposed in the first central gap and the second central gap.

3. The combination therapy pad of claim 1 , wherein the fiber-optic array is placed in direct contact with the wound area.

4. The combination therapy pad of claim 1 , wherein the second layer comprises an adhesive bottom surface.

5. The combination therapy pad of claim 1 , wherein the recessed central area is in fluid communication with the vacuum tube and the therapeutic fluid tube.

6. The combination therapy pad of claim 1 , wherein the first layer, the second layer, and the third layer are joined via at least one of adhesive bonding and welding.
