An apparatus for supplying one or more gases, such as oxygen, to a target area,
comprising a top layer and a bottom layer sealed around the perimeter of the layers
to form a reservoir between the layers, wherein the top layer is not gas-permeable
and the bottom layer is highly gas-permeable, said reservoir containing one or
more gases. The present invention also describes methods of using such an apparatus
to supply oxygen to a wound for improved wound healing.
