PICO provides suction known as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) which draws out excess fluid from a wound and protects the incision or wound
PICO consists of an NPWT pump connected to an absorbent gentle adhesive dressing
The dressing is applied to the wound bed and extra adhesive strips are placed over the outside edge to help hold the dressing in place
When the pump is turned on, air is pulled out of the dressing and excess fluid from the wound will start to enter the dressing
The dressing helps to prevent bacteria from entering the wound
It may also improve blood flow to the wound which will help it to heal
Approved for use on acute wounds, chronic wounds and closed surgical incisions
PICO 7 is a portable system allowing patients the freedom to continue daily activities
The dressing is waterproof, allowing patients the ability to shower
PICO 7 is quiet and discreet, allowing for greater patient satisfaction
