extriCARE™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System Instructions for Use Overview
The extriCARE™ 2400 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System consists of one AC power cable and one 100cc canister. Dressings, additional canisters, carrying cases, and other accessories are sold separately. The extriCARE™ device is a battery-operated pump that, when used with the proprietary dressing, creates a negative pressure environment. This may promote and expedite wound healing.
Dressing Application Instructions 01 Wound Cleaning Before applying the dressing, clean and debride the wound as per usual protocol. Clip hair around wound and where the dressing will be applied. Ensure the skin that will be under the dressing is clean, dry, and free of surfactants and oil. Areas of skin damage must be addressed prior to application of dressing. Use of “skin prep” is also recommended. Note About Wound Packing:
If needed, the clinician may loosely place dressing material into areas of depth, undermining, and tunneling. The decision on material used is based on availability and clinician preference.
02 Dressing Preparation Peel paper protectors off of dressing and stick to the sides of the dressing for ease when applying the Gel strips. Remove the blue film on one side of the Gel strip and place next to, but not touching the gauze pad then remove clear film. Use Gel strips to outline the gauze while overlapping the strips to provide a seal around the wound site.
03 Dressing Application After dressing has been prepared, place gauze pad over cleaned wound site while avoiding stretching or folding of the dressing. Apply slight pressure where Gel was applied to create a tight seal.
