PICO DRESSING
Description
Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.
PICO represents a unique way of treating patients who would benefit from the application of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). PICO has been shown to provide positive patient outcomes when applied to open wounds, closed surgical incisions and skin grafts1,2,3,4.
The PICO system is canister-free which means the pump is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. This makes the system very discreet and portable for the patient to wear2.
The PICO pump generates an effective negative pressure of -80mmHg5 and provides therapy for up to 7 days.
The PICO pump is connected to a conformable, innovatively designed dressing which:
1. Is easily applied and removed, minimising skin trauma2 and delivers the negative pressure across the wound bed or closed incision1
2. Is designed to reduce the risk of pressure points and supports patient comfort 6,7
3. Manages the fluid away from the wound or closed incision through a unique combination of absorbency and evaporation1,5.
Provided as a convenient all-in-one-system, canister-free PICO supports patients in maintaining their daily activities. Patients may be safely discharged with PICO in place2,3,8, the size and simplicity gives confidence that they can manage the system at home2,3,8.
Healthcare providers can be confident in using PICO because it has been shown to lead to improved patient outcomes and utilisation of resources across a range of wound types and care settings2,3,8,9.
PICO is presented to provide one week (7 days) of therapy. In each kit there is one pump plus two dressings complete with fixation strips. This enables a dressing change to be carried out within the therapy life of the pump if this is clinically necessary.
Being single use, PICO can be kept on the shelf to allow easy access to the therapy when it's needed.
PICO Single Use (NPWT) system is indicated for patients who would benefit from negative pressure wound therapy as it may promote wound healing via removal of low to moderate levels of exudate.
