PICO sNPWT pro-actively clears the path to help provide optimal conditions for a pro-healing environment, by helping to physically disrupt the biofilm,*2 by removing excess fluid and so helping to reduce inflammation.**3,16-19
PICO System has been shown to significantly improve the quality and appearance of scars when applied post-operatively.*11
*Compared to care with standard dressings; p0.001
Reduces established mature biofilm and absorbs bacteria from the wound, locking it into the dressing. All while protecting from outside contamination. 2,3
Helps to promote lymphatic drainage*4
*As demonstrated in vivo.
Maintains an efficient blood supply to the wound (perfusion), which helps to support immune response.5-7
The combination of macro and micro-deformations (wound contraction and filling of tissue defects with new granulations tissue) leads to reduction in wound area and wound depth.16-18
Provides a moist environment which helps with healing.12-15
Holds closed incision together, reducing lateral tension forces across the incision.†1
†As demonstrated in biomechanical modeling.
Increase the efficiency of functional lymph vessels which helps to reduce fluid buildup.8-10
The PICO Dressing's top layer helps minimize the risk of contamination.30
