Therapy (TPOT)
WoundPro
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has been shown to have a positive effect on the healing rates of (large) acute and chronic wounds.
For over 50 years there have been numerous clinical papers highlighting the benefits on healing rates and exudate management by applying a negative pressure in a moist and closed wound environment.
The exact biological mechanisms are still under much debate but the indications are that NPWT has an effect on:
- Wound moisture management
- Increased blood perfusion
- Removal of slough and exudate
- Increase granulation
- Reduction of interstitial edema
- Stimulating fibroblast proliferation
- Minimizing bacterial impact
- Stimulating endothelial cell growth
- Cellular stimulation
Indications for Use:
The WoundPro Apex Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System may promote wound healing, through the drainage and removal of infectious material and other fluids from the wound site using continuous and/or intermittent negative pressure. Patients with chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic or pressure), flaps and grafts may benefit from the use of this device. The WoundPro Apex is intended for use in a healthcare facility only.
