Negative-pressure wound therapy system, electric, reusable

Definition

An assembly of devices designed to treat hard-to-heal open wounds (e.g., acute, traumatic, and chronic), burns, diabetic/pressure ulcers, flaps, and grafts with suction. It typically consists of a dressing (e.g., open-cell foam or medicated gauze), an airtight adhesive drape, an evacuation tube, a collection canister, and an electrically-powered vacuum pump. The pump applies continuous or intermittent negative pressure to the wound via the tube to the dressing which decompresses capillaries/lymphatic vessels, improves blood/interstitial fluid circulation, draws wound edges together, facilitates granulation tissue formation, and prepares the wound bed for closure. This is a reusable device.
