Negative pressure wound therapy Smith+Nephew

Pico 7 Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System

Single-use, portable negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system that manages low to moderate volumes of exudate. PICO 7 sNPWT consists of a pump, coiled extension tubing, batteries and sterile dressing(s). The PICO 7 pump maintains NPWT at 80mmHg (nominal) to the wound surface. Exudate is managed by the dressing through a combination of absorption and evaporation of moisture through the outer film. The PICO 7 dual dressing kit is intended to be used for up to 7 days on low to moderately exuding wounds.

Indications

Patients who would benefit from a suction device (NPWT) as it may promote wound healing via removal of low to moderate levels of exudate and infectious materials. Appropriate wound types include: include chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic or pressure), flaps and grafts. Suitable for use in hospital and home care settings.

Contraindications

Malignancy in the wound bed or margins of the wound (except in palliative care to enhance quality of life), previously confirmed and untreated osteomyelitis, Non-enteric and unexplored fistulas, Necrotic tissue with eschar present, exposed arteries, veins, nerves or organs, exposed anastomotic sites. PICO 7 sNPWT should not be used for the purpose of emergency airway aspiration, pleural, mediastinal or chest tube drainage, surgical suction.
