INTENDED USES: PICO is appropriate for: Acute wounds, Chronic wounds, Closed surgical incisions, Traumatic wounds, Sub-acute and dehisced wounds, Flaps and grafts, Partial-thickness burns, Diabetic, Venous ulcers.
CLAIMED FEATURES: Delivers the same level of effective negative pressure as traditional systems – in a canister-free, pocket-sized, disposable device. This, in turn, enables NPWT to be an option for a wider range of patients in all care settings. It consists of a small, portable, battery-operated pump with a lifespan of up to 7 days. The PICO™ pump generates an effective negative pressure of 80mmHg yet is small enough to fit discretely into a pocket. The PICO™ pump is connected to a specially designed dressing which: 1) maintains the negative pressure across the wound bed and 2) removes the exudate from the wound bed through absorbency and evaporation. At the end of the week, the pump and batteries may be recycled as non-clinical waste. Being single use. Can be kept on the shelf to allow easy access to the therapy when it's needed.
