The Applied Tissue Technologies PWD™ Platform Wound Dressing Negative Pressure System comprised of the;PWD™ Dressing, PWD™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Pump, and the PWD™ Wound Exudate Canister isindicated in patients who would benefit from a suction device (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy) as it creates anenvironment that may promote wound healing by removing excess wound exudate. The Applied Tissue TechnologiesPlatform Wound Dressing is appropriate for use on the following wounds: exudating, chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acuteand dehisced wounds, partial thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, pressure and venous insufficiencies), flaps, graftsand closed surgical incisions.PWD Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System is suitable for use both in a hospital and homecare setting.
A portable assembly of devices designed to apply suction to help heal traumatic and chronic skin wounds (e.g., grafts, incisions, burns, ulcers) with low to moderate levels of exudate. It typically consists of an electrically-powered vacuum pump, a highly-absorbent wound dressing and/or collection canister to contain the exudate, and a connection tube. The pump applies continuous or intermittent negative pressure to the wound via the tube/dressing to decompress capillaries/lymphatic vessels, improve blood/interstitial fluid circulation, draw wound edges together, facilitate granulation tissue formation, and prepare the wound bed for closure. This is a single-use device.
