PICO◊ 14 Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System
Designed to treat closed surgical incisions following high-risk surgery and open wounds, with an enhanced pump facilitating use for up to 14 days with less user intervention*1-3
An exclusive mode of action
Enables delivery of negative pressure wound therapy across the entire dressing to the wound or incision and peri-wound, while simultaneously removing exudate.4,5
For surgical incisions:
- Protects the incision from external contamination6
- Helps hold incisions together by reducing lateral tensile forces**7
- Helps to increase the activity of the lymphatic system in deep tissue via reduction in wound fluid8
For complex open wounds:
- Protects the wound from external contamination9
- Promotes changes in blood flow, which may be beneficial for a wound10,11
- Improves wound contraction and assists in stimulation of granulation tissue formation, compared to standard dressings12
