A study showed 6.5 million patients in the US suffer from chronic wounds in a given year,^*6 often presenting multiple comorbidities. Timely intervention is a key factor, with healing rates reducing incrementally as treatment delays extend.^1,7

• A study showed 1 in 3 hard-to-heal wounds last longer than a year^**1
• The cost of chronic wounds in the US is estimated to be $66 billion annually⁶
• Pain, odor, reduced mobility and anxiety can have a devastating impact on patients, potentially leading to isolation and low self-esteem⁴

Consider: The annual prevalence of chronic wounds is set to grow, but are budgets and resources set to increase at the same rate?³

Intervention with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) may occur frequently, but the timing and choice of therapy may be fundamental factors in wound healing progression.

• Early intervention with the PICO^◊ Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System resulted in 94% of wounds being on a healing trajectory. The proportion of wounds on a healing trajectory may be 3 times higher when treated in the first 3 months^**1
• In one study, PICO sNPWT demonstrated superior clinical outcomes (wound area, depth and volume) in managing VLUs and DFUs, compared to traditional NPWT^***8
• An estimated overall cost saving of 33% with PICO sNPWT on hard-to-heal wounds^****1

Consider: Patients face a substantial burden when living with a stalled wound. Consider your options to help jump-start therapy and achieve wound closure.

An portable, canister-free design that has been shown to improve patient satisfaction, compared to traditional NPWT.⁹

• Allows patients the freedom to continue daily activities¹⁰
• Gentle silicone adhesive facilitates easy application and removal⁹ while minimizing pain associated with dressing changes^11-15
• Showerproof dressing, allowing patients the ability to shower¹⁰
• Quiet system better enables patients to sleep, compared to traditional NPWT⁸
