Abstract
An apparatus and method for healing open wounds through enlarge-ment of soft tissue surrounding said wound is comprised of a dome (12) configured to fit over the wound and at least a portion of the surround-ing soft tissue. The dome (12) has a rim (14) with a surface area equal to or greater than the normal area of the dome opening to prevent med-ical complications caused by exces-sive pressure to the skin. A gas-ket (46) or other cushioning material may be provided about the periphery of the dome (12) for patient comfort and improved seal. The dome (12) also includes a vacuum pump (20) with a power source (22), pressure sensor (24), and servomechanism (26) for regulating the pressure within the dome (12) to any one of several proto-cols using pressures which might tem-porarily exceed non-damaging levels.
