Devices and methods for treatment of damaged tissue
Methods and devices for treatment of damaged tissue are disclosed, including treatment of wounds by employing non-electrically powered, reduced pressure therapy devices. Maintenance and control of the sub atmospheric pressure exerted may be provided by such devices while minimizing discomfort to the user. The devices may be configured to be worn inconspicuously underneath clothing.
1. A method for providing communication to a chamber, comprising:
opening a conduit seal covering a distal opening of a first conduit using a tubing connector; and
opening a connector seal covering a proximal opening of the tubing connector using the first conduit; and
forming a seal between an outer surface of the connector seal and an inner surface of a second conduit.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
inserting the distal opening of the first conduit into the proximal opening of the tubing connector.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
pushing the connector seal into the proximal opening of the tubing connector.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
inserting the proximal opening of the tubing connector into the second conduit to form the seal before opening the conduit seal and the connector seal.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
positioning the tubing connector between an inner surface of the second conduit and an outer surface of the first conduit.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein inserting the proximal opening of the tubing connector into the second conduit occurs before the opening of the conduit seal.
7. The method of claim 4 , wherein inserting the proximal opening of the tubing connector into the second conduit occurs before the positioning of the tubing connector between the inner surface of the second conduit and the outer surface of the first conduit.
8. The method of claim 4 , further comprising:
forming a mechanical interfit between the tubing connector and the second conduit.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
releasing the mechanical interfit between the tubing connector and the second conduit.
