Summary
The USPTO granted Patent US12605530B1 to inventors Jeffrey A. Niezgoda, Eric J. Roberts, and Jonathan A. Niezgoda on April 21, 2026. The patent covers a therapeutic wound monitoring device featuring an external gas/moisture impermeable layer, a semipermeable internal layer, a fluid-absorbing spacer layer, and a flexible film-based circuit board with processor, sensors, and wireless transceiver. The device is designed for continuous wound monitoring with data transmission capabilities.
What changed
The USPTO issued Patent US12605530B1 for a therapeutic wound monitoring device incorporating multiple functional layers and electronic monitoring capabilities. The patent describes an external impermeable layer, internal semipermeable layer creating a gaseous reservoir, a fluid-absorbing spacer layer, and a bendable flexible circuit board with sensors and wireless transceiver positioned to communicate with the wound site.
Medical device manufacturers developing wound care monitoring products should review this patent for freedom-to-operate considerations and potential licensing opportunities. The patent's broad coverage of sensor-integrated wound dressings with wireless data transmission may affect product development strategies in the connected wound care device space.

Abstract
A therapeutic device used for monitoring a wound includes an external layer impermeable to gas and moisture with a periphery that adheres to a user's skin about the wound and an internal layer with a periphery adhered to the external layer creating a gaseous reservoir between the external and internal layers. The internal layer is semipermeable to allow gas to diffuse from the gaseous reservoir toward the wound, and to allow moisture to be absorbed from the wound. A spacer layer separates the external and internal layers and absorbs fluid from the wound. A bendable, flexible and stretchable, film-based circuit board is located on the internal layer and includes a processor, at least one sensor, and a wireless transceiver. A perforated inner wound layer is positioned below the circuit board and includes openings configured to allow the at least one sensor to be in communication with the wound.
