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.
