Disclosed embodiments relate to apparatuses and methods for wound treatment. In some embodiments, a negative pressure source is incorporated into a wound dressing apparatus so that the wound dressingand the negative pressure source are part of an integral or integrated wound dressing structure that applies the wound dressing and the negative pressure source simultaneously to a patient's wound. The negative pressure source and/or electronic components may be positioned between a wound contact layer and a cover layer of the wound dressing. The negative pressure source and/or electronic components may be separated and/or partitioned from an absorbent area of the dressing. A switch may be integrated with the wound dressing to control operation of the wound dressing apparatus. A connector maybe direct air from an outlet of the negative pressure source to the environment. A non-return valve may inhibit back flow of air into the wound dressing. 所公开的实施方案涉及用于伤口治疗的设备和方法。在些实施方案中，将负压源结合到伤口敷料设备中，使得所述伤口敷料和所述负压源是体或整合的伤口敷料结构
