The last thing C-section patients want is for post-operative complications to keep them from bonding with their newborn baby. Yet, the procedure carries a high risk of surgical site complications (SSCs) – surgical site infections (SSIs) being the most prevalent – and may lead to serious consequences.^1-5

3 in 10 women give birth by C-section in the US⁶
Up to 15% of these result in an SSI⁷
Patients face an average 10 days longer in hospital if they develop a SSI⁸

Consider: The impact of a SSI on a new mom can lead to less bonding time with her newborn at home.

Treatments steps: One, Two, Three

Lower the risk reap the reward

Prophylactic use of the PICO^◊ Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System (sNPWT) may help reduce the prevalence and impact of SSCs, particularly in patients with a BMI ≥30, compared to standard dressings.⁴

50% relative risk reduction in the incidence of SSI, compared to standard care^*4
Estimated cost saving of almost $400 per SSI patient with a pre-pregnancy BMI ≥35, compared to standard care⁵
