Negative Pressue Wound Therapy (NPWT)

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) systems improve wound healing by removing wound exudates and actively promoting tissue granulation. By providing intermittent or continuous therapy through subatmospheric pressure, NPWT technology assists in faster healing of open wounds by optimizing blood flow in the wound bed, decreasing local swelling, and removing excess fluid that can slow cell growth, mitigating the length of the healing process.

By virtue of this technology, NPWT allows clinicians to control the amount of exudate being emitted from the wound, thus, protecting the skin and enhancing patient comfort. Furthering this patient comfort is the reduction in the number of dressing changes required as well as the significant reduction in a risk of infection to an exposed wound. NPWT systems consist of disposable tubing, foam wound dressing, adhesive film that covers and seals the wound as well as a reusable pump. The disposable foam dressing is used to fill open cavity wounds and can be cut to the size of the wound. Foam dressings are ideal for any wounds, even those that need aggressive granulation formation and wound contraction.

This technology is primarily used for acute or chronic wounds as well as first and second degree burns. NPWT technology regulates pressure at the wound site, providing safe and accurate delivery of the prescribed settings through the pump to foster rapid wound granulation, epithelialisation, and contraction. NPWT foams are able to be customized for use across a breadth of medical markets including Acute Care, Long Term Care, Homecare, and Wound Care environments.

These NPWT foams are manufactured in an ISO 13485 certified facility.
