The PICO System is a small, portable device that applies negative pressure wound therapy for a variety of closed surgical incisions to aid in reducing the risk of surgical site complications (SSCs).
Backed by our indications
The PICO System is the first Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System, to be indicated to aid in the reduction of the incidence of both superficial and deep incisional SSIs for high-risk patients, in Class I and Class II wounds, post-operative seroma and dehiscence on closed surgical incisions.*
New Meta-analysis supports the use of incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (iNPWT) for reducing the risk of surgical site infections1
Methodologies
Results
Reduced risk of SSI using NPWT 33% reduced risk
Increased confidence in results
Industry involvement does not bias outcomes
No significant difference† between -80mmHg and -125mmHg NPWT devices
A surgeons perspective
Review a meta-analysis of 29 studies in a variety of surgical specialties
*PICO 7/14sNPWT, for up to 7 days of therapy
† Marginal improvement using -80mmHg vs -125mmHg
