An exclusive mode of action

Enables delivery of negative pressure wound therapy across the entire dressing to the wound or incision and peri-wound, while simultaneously removing exudate.4,5

For surgical incisions:

  • Protects the incision from external contamination6
  • Helps hold incisions together by reducing lateral tensile forces**7
  • Helps to increase the activity of the lymphatic system in deep tissue via reduction in wound fluid8

For complex open wounds:

  • Protects the wound from external contamination9
  • Promotes changes in blood flow, which may be beneficial for a wound10,11
  • Improves wound contraction and assists in stimulation of granulation tissue formation, compared to standard dressings12
