The company has designed the extriCARE® 3600 NPWT pump and foam kit for use on wounds with heavy exudates, including wounds of critical nature. These products have been developed for use in acute care and post-acute care settings, as well as skilled nursing facilities.
Key features of the high-flow NPWT pump are a 24-hour continuous, rechargeable battery, a rotatable back-mount for securing the device to hospital bed rails and IV poles, simple pressure settings between 40-200mmHg of pressure, and various alarms signaling air leakage, low battery, and other errors.
Currently, the device uses a 400cc disposable canister, while a 1,000cc canister is in development.
Devon Medical Products president Chip Ross said that this regulatory approval is a significant step for the company as it opens the door for it to treat a broader range of wounds commonly found in institutional settings.
"We added this larger NPWT pump and a foam wound dressing kit to help complete our NPWT product line and provide wound care professionals with the technology they need to manage all types of wounds," Ross added.
"We are proud to now offer a complete line of NPWT pumps, dressings, and accessories at a fraction of the cost of many of our competitors."
Devon Medical Products will showcase the extriCARE 3600 pump and foam dressing kits at the 46th Annual Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nurses Society Conference in Nashville, Tennessee this week.
