Introduction Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) refers to the use of negative pressure to promote healing in acute and chronic wounds. The therapeutic benefits of NPWT include the reduction in bacterial load, an increase in blood flow to the wound and stimulation of granulation tissue formation.1,2,3

The principles of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy NPWT delivers vacuum-assisted pressure below the wound surface to help promote healing. NPWT consists of a wound filler (foam or gauze), a drainage tube inserted into the dressing, and a transparent film to seal the site before being connected to a suction device.

Indications for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) NPWT is suitable for a range of wound types including pressure ulcers, diabetic/ neuropathic ulcers, venous insufficiency ulcers, and traumatic wounds, post operative and dehisced surgical incisions, explored fistulas, skin grafts and flaps.

With the RENASYS range of devices and accessories, Smith & Nephew provide a quality offering to facilitate NPWT supported by a 24 hour emergency telephone line, credible and indication-specific clinical information and easy to understand patient guides.

4 NPWT wound sealing kits The Smith & Nephew Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) sealing kits contain the necessary components to successfully prepare a wound for NPWT using the RENASYS™ EZ or RENASYS GO NPWT system. The type of wound sealing kit required depends on the size and depth of the wound and the drainage requirements.

Drain guide (gauze kits only) Flat

RENASYS™ Cleaning and disinfecting instructions The instructions supplied with all cleaning agents must be followed. Canister Kits are not reusable. A new disposable canister kit must be used for each patient. Disconnect the unit from the power socket before cleaning is commenced. Use a highlevel disinfection solution or wipe as described in your local equipment decontamination protocol. While cleaning, always wear the appropriate protective equipment as described in your local protocol for handling clinical waste. As a minimum, gloves should be worn throughout this process.

Please ensure wound vacuum systems have been cleaned and disinfected before returning to Smith & Nephew 1. As directed in your local protocol for the handling and disposal of biological contaminated equipment, remove the canister and discard it. 2. Carefully wipe all surfaces of the device with the disposable wipe. Particular attention should be made to the handle (RENASYS EZ) and areas close to the canister connection port. 3. Carefully wipe all surfaces of the power cord and power adaptor (RENASYS GO). 4. Use second wipe with the disinfectant solution to thoroughly clean all external surfaces. 5. Allow to air dry (do NOT dry with towel / cloth. PLEASE NOTE: RENASYS GO carry straps should be replaced with each new patient usage.

Support and educational material RENASYS™ -G Quick reference dressing guidelines

RENASYS-G Quick reference dressing guidelines

1. Clean wound bed with normal saline if indicated

2. Apply skin protection wipe to periwound skin

3. Cut a single layer of non-adherent wound contact layer to fit the wound dimensions

4. Lay non-adherent wound contact layer into wound bed

5. Moisten gauze with saline saline and squeeze out excess

6. Place a layer of moistened gauze into wound bed

7. If required, cut drain to fit wound dimensions. As a guide the drain should be at least 1–2cm shorter than the wound size

8. Secure drain using strip paste beneath and on top of drain as shown

9. Fill remaining defect to skin level with additional moistened gauze

10. Cover wound and drain with drape with approx 3–5cm overlap onto surrounding skin

11. Attach canister to the device, secure dressing tubing to the canister tubing

12. Ensure tubing clamps are open

NPWT 24hr Helpline UK: 0845 1200 167 Ireland: 01217 0484 13. Turn on machine. Set desired negative pressure and start therapy

14. Dressing should collapse and appear firm to touch and have a ‘raisin-like’ appearance

6 RENASYS-G Quick reference dressing guidelines RENASYS™ -G specialist dressing techniques Undermining

Option 1 – Follow instructions overleaf making sure that all undermined areas are filled with saline moistened gauze. The drain should also be inserted as described overleaf.

Option 2 – Wrap your selected drain in moistened gauze and coil into the wound. Fill remaining defect with saline moistened gauze, secure drain with strip paste and seal with drape

Tunnelled wounds

Option 1 – When the tunnel is only slightly larger than the drain circumference – insert channel drain directly into the tunnel until resistance is felt and then draw back at least 1cm to prevent excess pressure at the wound base. Coil the remaining drain into the wound bed then fill the defect with saline moistened gauze, secure drain with strip paste and seal with drape

Option 2 – When the tunnel is larger than the drain circumference, wrap your chosen drain in saline moistened gauze, insert into the tunnel until resistance is felt and then draw back at least 1cm to prevent excess pressure at the wound base. Coil the remaining drain into the wound bed then fill the defect with saline moistened gauze, secure drain with strip paste, and seal with drape

Bridging technique

Option 1 – Treating two wounds in close proximity with one pump – fill both wounds with saline moistened gauze, protect intact skin between the wounds with drape then connect both wounds with a strip of gauze, place drain between the wounds on the strip of gauze connecting the two wounds, secure the drain with strip paste, seal all wounds and the drain with drape

Option 2 – Where only one wound is present this technique can be used to move the drain tubing from wound’s periphery to a non-weight bearing area. Fill the wound defect with gauze, apply drape onto the skin to create a protective bridge between the wound and the upper body surface. Run a strip of gauze on top of the drape in a continuous strip from the wound to the non-weight bearing surface. Secure the drain with strip paste, cover the wound and all gauze and the drain with drape

Skin grafts

Skin flaps

Cover graft with non-adherent wound contact layer extending at least 1cm beyond the suture/staple line, place a single layer of moistened wound filler over the prepared area, then place a flat drain as close to the middle of the wound as possible. Cut to fit the wound dimensions if required. Place a single layer of moistened wound filler over the drain and seal

Cover the intact skin of the flap with transparent film to within approximately 1cm of the suture line. Cover the opposite side of the suture line with transparent film to within approximately 1cm of the suture line (creating a ‘ring’ of exposed skin around the suture line). Cover this with nonadherent wound contact layer. Then place a single layer of moistened wound filler over the prepared area, place a flat drain as close to the middle of the wound as possible. Cut to fit the wound dimensions if required. Place a single layer of moistened wound filler over the drain and seal

6 RENASYS-F/P Foam Quick reference dressing techniques RENASYS–F/P Quick Reference Dressing Guide

Layered technique 1

Debride any necrotic tissue / eschar if necessary. Cleanse the wound bed and pat dry as per protocol.

Apply SKIN-PREP™ or a thin hydrocolloid to the peri-wound skin if required. N.B. Skin sealant is not included as part of the RENASYSF/P foam dressing kit.

Cut the foam to fit the size and shape of the wound. Do not cut the foam directly over the wound bed.

Place the foam into the wound cavity. Multiple pieces or layers of foam can be inserted into a cavity if required to ensure a perfect fit is achieved.

Cover the foam with transparent film. The film should extend 5cm beyond the wound margin to facilitate an adequate seal.

Ensure the film is securely anchored to the peri-wound area to maintain a good seal. Ensure the film is not stretched or applied under tension, or pressure applied to the foam as this may cause blistering when the NPWT is applied

Cut a small circular hole in the centre of the film over the foam. The hole needs to be roughly 0.6cm in size. Remove any excess trimmed film.

Remove the backing from the Port dressing.

Align the opening of the Port over the hole in the film. Use gentle pressure to anchor the Port to the film.

Smooth the dressing down whilst removing the frame.

Connect the Port tubing to the canister tubing. Ensure the tubing clamps are open.

Switch on the device, set desired therapy setting and start therapy

The finished dressing should collapse, be firm to the touch and have a wrinkled appearance.
