- Study type
- Device evaluation poster
Opportunistic sampling at each practitioner’s discretion; pumps were supplied by Genadyne.
Key points
- The authors report the compact system performed comparably with similar systems on the market.
- The hybrid dressing provided lateral tension and helped prevent maceration because the foam collapses and removes fluid to the canister.
- The authors describe the range of pump settings as allowing greater mobility and early discharge.
- The pump has a run time of more than 40 hours and fully charges within 4 hours.
- Illustrated cases include a diabetic toe removal, two foot or hand wounds in Mexico treated for 7 and 8 weeks, and a dog-bite wound.
