The Exsudex® Wound Drainage Device is a compact, portable device indicated for patients who would benefit from theapplication of negative pressure to the area of a wound, for the aspiration and removal of surgical fluids, irrigation fluids, tissue(including bone), gases, bodily fluids or infectious materials either during surgery or at the patient’s bedside particularly as thedevice may promote wound healing.
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 a mains electricity (AC-powered) computer-controlled 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.
