This portable, battery-powered device is designed for single-use, providing a convenient and effective method for managing a wide variety of wounds in both clinical and home care settings.

Key Features

• Advanced Wound Management: The system delivers continuous, regulated negative pressure to the wound site, effectively removing exudate, reducing swelling, and protecting against external contamination.

• Controlled Fluid Management (CFM) Technology: This technology shares fluid management between a multi-layered dressing and a 50 ml canister, reducing dressing saturation and the need for frequent changes.

• Lightweight and Portable: Weighing less than 130g, the device is discreet and easy to carry, designed for single-patient use for up to 14–15 days.

Dressing and Adhesive

• Multi-Layered Dressing with Safetac® Adhesive: The dressing contours to difficult areas, minimizes trauma during removal, and reduces blistering. It can remain in place for up to 7 days, with various sizes available to suit different needs.

• Canister-Based Fluid Management: The transparent canister allows for easy monitoring and replacement.

Safety and Alerts

• Visual and Audible Alarms: Alerts for leakage, blockage, low battery, and internal failure ensure reliable operation.

• Battery Specifications: Operates with two AA 1.5V lithium batteries, with a recommended replacement after 7 days or when the low battery alarm sounds.
