What is Pico 7 Used For?

Published in Wound Care 2 mins read

The PICO 7 sNPWT (single-use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy) system is used for wound care. Specifically, it provides suction, also known as negative pressure, to promote wound healing.

How PICO 7 Works:

  • Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT): The primary function is to apply negative pressure to the wound. This suction helps remove excess fluid and debris from the wound bed.
  • Fluid Removal: By drawing out excess fluid, PICO 7 helps reduce edema (swelling) and promotes a healthier environment for tissue regeneration.
  • Wound Protection: The system provides a barrier that helps protect the wound from external contamination and infection.
  • Compression Force: The negative pressure applies a compressive force, which can help bring wound edges together.

Benefits of Using PICO 7:

  • Promotes Healing: The combination of fluid removal, protection, and compression accelerates the natural healing process.
  • Reduces Infection Risk: The barrier function minimizes the risk of infection.
  • Manages Exudate: Effectively manages wound exudate (fluid), preventing maceration (skin softening due to moisture).
  • Simple and Portable: Being a single-use system, PICO 7 is relatively simple to apply and can be used in various settings.

In Summary:

PICO 7 is a single-use negative pressure wound therapy system designed to accelerate wound healing by removing excess fluid, protecting the wound, and promoting tissue regeneration.
