Abstract

A system, apparatus and method for delivering negative pressure and vibrations proximate a wound site. The system comprises a dressing adapted to be fluidly coupled to the wound site and further adapted to translate vibrations to the wound site. A pad is coupled to a negative pressure source and to the dressing. The pad is also coupled to a vibration module. The system further comprises a drape covering the dressing and the pad and forming a seal between the wound site and the environment. The vibration module fluidly couples to the dressing and provides vibrations during application of negative pressure.
