Pico 10 X 20cm Dressing BOX 5

PICO represents a new way of treating patients who would benefit from the application of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). PICO consists of a small, portable 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 maintains the negative pressure across the wound bed.

·         Removes the exudate from the wound bed through absorbency and evaporation.

·         PICO is presented to provide a week (7 days) of therapy. In each carton there is one pump plus two AA lithium batteries and two separately packed dressings complete with fixation strips. This enables a dressing change to be carried out within the lifespan of the pump if this is clinically necessary.

·         At the end of the week, the pump and batteries may be recycled as non-clinical waste. Being single use, PICO can be kept on the shelf to allow easy access to the therapy when it's needed.

PICO Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy system is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy) as it may promote wound healing via removal of low to moderate levels of exudate and infectious materials.

PICO Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System is suitable for use in both a hospital and community setting.
