Pico 14 single use negative pressure wound therapy system

Description

The PICO 14 Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System (sNPWT) by Smith+Nephew is a portable device using gentle suction to promote healing for up to 14 days on closed surgical incisions and various chronic/acute wounds, drawing out fluid, reducing infection risk (SSIs), and helping tissue formation with a quiet pump, lightweight design, and adhesive dressing, making it suitable for hospital or home use.
Key Features & Benefits:
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT): Creates gentle suction (negative pressure) to remove excess fluid (exudate) and infectious materials from the wound.
Extended Wear: Designed for up to 14 days, with the dressing changed around day 7, while the pump provides continuous therapy.
Patient-Centric: Features a quiet, lightweight pump with a belt clip for portability and greater patient freedom, even allowing showering (with pump disconnected).
Advanced Dressing: Uses AIRLOCK Technology with a gentle silicone adhesive to minimize pain and trauma on removal, reducing tension and edema around surgical incisions.
Versatile: Indicated for surgical incisions (reducing SSIs/dehiscence), diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, venous leg ulcers, grafts, flaps, and other acute/chronic wounds.
System Components:
Pump: Small, battery-powered, with lights indicating status (green for OK/standby, orange for leak/alert).
Dressing: Adhesive, absorbent, with integrated filter.
Tubing: Connects the dressing to the pump.
Belt Clip: For easy carrying.
How it Works (Simplified):
Application: A healthcare professional applies the adhesive dressing over the wound, ensuring a good seal.
Suction: The pump creates continuous suction, pulling fluid away and stimulating granulation tissue.
Monitoring: A green light indicates proper function; an orange light signals a leak or issue.
Dressing Changes: The dressing is usually changed around day 7, with the pump potentially lasting the full 14 days.
