Abstract
A wound therapy system includes an instillation fluid canister configured to contain an instillation fluid, a pump fluidly coupled to the instillation fluid canister and operable to deliver the instillation fluid from the instillation fluid canister to a wound, a user interface configured to receive user input indicating one or more geometric attributes of the wound, and a controller electronically coupled to the pump and the user interface. The controller is configured to determine a volume of the wound based on the user input, determine a volume of the instillation fluid to deliver to the wound based on the volume of the wound, and operate the pump to deliver the determined volume of the instillation fluid to the wound.
