Visual Indication System for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy

In interviews with wound care specialists, it was revealed that every patient undergoing NPWT will experience a leak. Finding these leaks can prove to be difficult and can delay or even halt therapy. My team and I created a system using thermochromic pigments to indicate the location of leaks on the wound drape.

This is a demonstration of how the system would work in a clinical application.
