PICO^◊ 7 Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System

Featuring proprietary AIRLOCK^◊ Technology to help distribute pressure evenly across the wound bed and surrounding zone of injury for up to 7 days, with visual alerts for air leaks, low battery and dressing changes.^9-13

Unique dressing technology

Through a unique dressing design and an innovative pump, PICO sNPWT has been shown to reduce lateral tension^*8 and may help to reduce oedema^9-11 - while promoting lymphatic drainage^**12 - with a gentle silicone contact layer helping to minimise trauma and pain in the peri-wound area on dressing removal.^13-15

Indicated for use on:

Surgically closed incision sites
Acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds
Chronic wounds and ulcers (such as diabetic or pressure)
Partial-thickness burns, flaps and grafts
