ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an implantable, disposable barrier disc to be used in negative pressure treatment of wounds, in particular sternotomy wounds, wherein the barrier disc consists of a rigid material withstanding a negative pressure of at least −50 mmHg without causing deformation to the barrier disc, and that the barrier disc is perforated to allow drainage of wound fluid through said barrier disc.
