Product Overview:
The PICO 7 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) Kit is an advanced wound care solution designed to facilitate faster healing and improve patient outcomes. The kit includes a 15 x 20 cm dressing and a compact, lightweight pump that provides continuous negative pressure, promoting the healing of acute and chronic wounds, surgical incisions, and other wound types. The PICO 7 system is user-friendly, portable, and discreet, making it ideal for both in-hospital use and at-home care.
Key Features:
- Advanced Negative Pressure Technology:
- The PICO 7 system uses negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) to help draw out excess fluid, reduce edema, and promote perfusion, supporting a moist wound healing environment conducive to faster recovery.
- The PICO 7 device is compact and lightweight, designed to be worn discreetly under clothing, enhancing patient comfort and mobility. The portability allows for greater patient freedom and compliance, even during extended use.
- The 15 x 20 cm dressing is suitable for a wide range of wound sizes and types, providing effective coverage for moderate to large wounds. The dressing is designed with an absorbent layer to manage exudate while maintaining a moist environment.
- The pump is engineered to operate quietly, minimizing disruption to the patient’s daily activities or sleep, which enhances comfort and overall satisfaction with the therapy.
- The PICO 7 system includes a visual indicator that alerts the user or caregiver if there is a leak or if the dressing needs to be changed, ensuring consistent therapy and optimal wound management.
- The kit is designed for single-use and disposable after use, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination and simplifying the treatment process for both healthcare professionals and patients.
