Claims
- 1. A wound treatment kit assembly for the washing, debriding, cleansing, medicinal treatment and maintenance of a wound site on the limb, scalp or torso of a patient comprising:a plurality of flexible body component-treating bag-like pressurizably expandable envelopes, attachable to a body component; a hand manipulable fluid delivery gun; a plurality of wand-like conduits having a first end for connective attachment to said fluid delivery gun and a second end for entry into said bag-like envelopes; a fluid reservoir; a plurality of flexible delivery conduits for conducting fluid from said reservoir to said hand manipulable gun when said bag-like envelopes are secured to a component of a patient and said gun is in fluid communication with said bag-like pressurizably expandable envelopes, to provide complete wound treatment and minimize associated health risks commonly incurred with wound treatment; and at least one canister of compressed gas for delivery of gas into the bag-like pressurizably expandable envelope through said delivery conduits, to provide sterility, and maintain an inflation in said envelope to permit said envelopes to be maintained at a spaced distance from a wound site therewithin.
- 2. The wound treatment kit assembly as recited in claim 1, including a plurality of nozzle attachments for securement to said second end of said wand-like conduits once said second end of said wand has been inserted into said envelope.
- 3. The wound treatment kit assembly as recited in claim 2, including a plurality of flexible, disposable waste bags and a plurality of sections of discharge tubing so that fluid and body tissue matter drained from said bag like envelopes about a component of a patient may be safely captured and disposed of without contamination to the patient or medical personnel.
- 4. The wound treatment kit assembly as recited in claim 3, wherein said plurality of nozzle attachments includes a brush, a sponge and a medicament applicator.
- 5. The wound treatment kit assembly as recited in claim 1, wherein said fluid treatment delivery gun has a pressure adjustment arrangement to permit regulation of the flow of fluid onto said wound site as necessary during various phases of wound healing.
- 6. The wound treatment kit assembly as recited in claim 1, including an optical cable and a power source to deliver light treatment through said cable and into said bag-like envelopes for treating a body component therein.
- 7. A method of providing a wound cleansing, debridement and medical treatment delivery procedure to a patient outside of a medical facility, comprising the steps of:assembling a portable kit for remote wound care treatment, said kit including a fluid treatment delivery gun, a plurality of flexible bag-like body-component-enclosing pressurizably expandable envelopes, a fluid source, a plurality of conduits for delivery of fluid from said fluid source to said pressurizably expandable envelopes in which a patient's body component is enclosed and for delivery of waste fluid from said envelope during the patient treatment; and providing an optical fiber and a light source for the delivery of light treatment from said light source into said envelope containing a body component of a patient.
- 8. The method as recited in claim 7, including the step of:providing a plurality of wand conduits for delivery of fluid from said gun into a port in said envelope.
- 9. A wound treatment kit assembly for the washing, debriding, cleansing, medicinal treatment and maintenance of a wound site on the limb or torso of a patient comprising:a plurality of flexible body component-treating bag-like pressurizably expandable envelopes, attachable to a body component; a hand manipulable pressurizably adjustable fluid delivery gun; a plurality of wand-like conduits having a first end for connective attachment to said fluid delivery gun and a second end for entry into said bag-like envelopes; a fluid reservoir; a plurality of flexible delivery conduits for conducting fluid from said reservoir to said hand manipulable gun when a bag-like envelope is secured to a component of a patient and said gun is in fluid communication with said bag-like envelopes; a plurality of nozzle attachments for securement to said second end of said wand-like conduit once said second end of said wand-like conduit has been inserted into said envelopes; a plurality of flexible, disposable waste bags and a plurality of sections of discharge tubing so that fluid and body tissue matter drained from said bag like envelope about a component of a patient may be safely captured and disposed of without contamination to the patient or medical personnel; at least one canister of compressed gas for delivery of gas into the bag-like envelope through said delivery conduits, to provide sterility, and maintain an inflation in said bag to permit said pressurizably expandable envelope to be maintained at a spaced distance from a wound site therewithin, said plurality of nozzle attachments includes a brush, a sponge and a medicament applicator; and an optical cable and a power source to deliver light treatment through said cable and into said bag-like envelopes for treating a body component therein.
- 10. The wound treatment kit assembly for the washing, debriding, cleansing, medicinal treatment and maintenance of a wound site as recited in claim 9, including a pressure adjustable pump assembly for supplying pressurized wound treatment fluid through said fluid delivery gun and to said wound site.
- 11. The wound treatment kit assembly for the washing, debriding, cleansing, medicinal treatment and maintenance of a wound site as recited in claim 10, wherein said pressure adjustable pump includes a suction arrangement therewith, to also permit suctioned drainage of spent treatment fluid and debris from said bag-like envelope.
- 12. The wound treatment kit assembly for the washing, debriding, cleansing, medicinal treatment and maintenance of a wound site as recited in claim 11, wherein a light source and a power source are arranged within said pulp assembly.
