Indications for use/Contraindications | 5
The Invia Ease Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system is indicated for patients
who would benefit from a suction device (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy) as when used
on open wounds it creates an environment that promotes wound healing by secondary or
tertiary (delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure, reducing
edema, promoting granulation tissue formation and perfusion, and by removing exudates
and infectious material.
When used on closed surgical incisions, the Invia Ease NPWT system is also intended to
manage the environment of surgical incisions that continue to drain following sutured or
stapled closure by maintaining a closed environment and removing exudate via the
application of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.
The Invia Ease NPWT system is appropriate for use for the following indications:
– Acute or subacute wounds
– Chronic wounds
– Dehisced wounds
– Pressure ulcers
– Diabetic/Neuropathic ulcers
– Venous insufficiency ulcers
– Traumatic wounds
– Partial thickness burns
– Flaps and grafts
– Closed surgical incisions
