Quick Overview
The PICO NPWT is a wound care system, which provides suction known as Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). This draws out excess fluid from a wound and provides a compressive force protecting the injured area from getting dirty to ultimately help promote healing. The PICO NPWT system consists of an NPWT pump connected to an absorbent gentle adhesive dressing.
