View Patent ↗This disclosure describes devices, systems, and methods related to a connection point of a therapy system which includes light switchable adhesive and is configured to be switched by light provided by and/or via one or more components of the therapy system. An example of a connection point is an interface between two tubes of therapy system. An example of light provided to the exemplary connection point is light provided to one of the two tubes such that the light travels to the connection point, via at least the one tube, to switch the light switchable adhesive.
1. A therapy system comprising:
a connection point including a connector having a light switchable adhesive provided on a mating portion of the connector; and
a UV device configured to provide light to the light switchable adhesive via one or more components of the therapy system;
the light switchable adhesive being configured to switch states based on a first light, and further comprising a second light switchable adhesive, the second light switchable adhesive configured to switch states based on a second light, wherein the second light corresponds to a different spectrum than the first light.
2. The therapy system of claim 1 , wherein the connection point comprises a connection point between a therapy device and a canister, between the canister and a set of tubes, within the set of tubes, or between the set of tubes and a dressing.
3. The therapy system of claim 1 , further comprising a therapy device and a dressing in fluid communication with the therapy device.
