Abstract

A method and/or system allowing patients to receive consistent, effective and convenient reliable wound care by applying customized wound dressings fabricated at automatic wound dressing fabricators deployed in medical facilities. Wound dressing specifications are generated with the aid of a computer-based configuration algorithm based on characteristics of the wounds. The generated wound dressing specifications are communicated between the medical facilities to provide consistent and reliable wound dressings without duplicative diagnosis of the wound. Further, telemedicine for wound care may be implemented by communicating the wound dressing specifications to automatic wound dressing fabricators that are remotely located.

Claims (4)

1 . A method of providing a customized wound dressing, comprising:

receiving from a remote device a wound dressing specification representing configuration of a wound dressing customized for a specific wound of a specific patient;

fabricating a first wound dressing by a first automatic wound dressing fabricator based on the wound dressing specification; and

delivering the first wound dressing to a predetermined location from which the patient can access the first wound dressing.
