OneNPWT
Negative pressure wound therapy can be complicated to manage, adding to costs and workloads; potentially resulting in delayed discharge and pressure on resources. International expert guidelines recommend a simplified decision-making framework to help inform the appropriate use of NPWT1,2
An international expert consensus
Experts recommend implementation of an evidence-based framework to simplify and optimise NPWT provision, and to help guide the selection of appropriate NPWT systems.
Prompt selection of a single-use NPWT system, such as PICO◊ sNPWT, for clinically eligible wounds can help to:
- Facilitate prompt patient discharge1
- Improve patient satisfaction1
- Alleviate logistical workloads associated with tNPWT fleet management1
- Reduce overall cost of care1
Evidence and case studies
Disclaimer
*n=96; compared to alternative ports.
**For healing progression compared to baseline trajectory and for healing compared with predictions for standard care; n=52 wounds. On responding to stalled chronic wounds of 44 weeks mean duration, the PICO system healed 56% of wounds an average of 10 weeks earlier than predicted with standard wound care dressings; n=9.
***Compared to traditional NPWT over a 12-week treatment period for VLUs and DFUs; n=161; ITT analysis.
