Abstract
A cutting template for use with a negative pressure wound therapy system includes a substantially rigid body. The body includes a top surface, a bottom surface, a height, and a recess. The top surface is configured to engage a drape layer. The bottom surface is configured to engage a dressing layer. The height is defined between the top surface and the bottom surface. The height is configured to create a gap between the drape layer and the dressing layer. The recess is disposed substantially about a perimeter of the body. The recess is configured to receive an edge of a cutting tool so that an opening is formed in the drape layer when the edge is traversed about the perimeter.
