ABSTRACT:
A non-contact wound covering for covering a wound includes a peripheral sealing ring. The peripheral sealing ring is covered by a barrier layer and this assembly is attached to the skin with an adhesive. The barrier layer and peripheral sealing ring together define a treatment volume over the wound. Treatment fluid is introduced into the treatment volume through an inlet, and is exhausted therefrom through an outlet or an exhaust filter.
