The PICO 7 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Two Dressing Kit from Smith & Nephew includes two dressings for the PICO 7 system. The system pairs an NPWT pump (negative pressure wound therapy, a form of suction) with an absorbent, gentle adhesive dressing. It is a portable system that lets patients continue daily activities.

• PICO provides suction known as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), which draws excess fluid from a wound and protects the incision or wound
• The system consists of an NPWT pump connected to an absorbent dressing with a gentle adhesive
• You apply the dressing to the wound bed, then place extra adhesive strips over the outside edge to help hold it in place
• When the pump is turned on, air is pulled out of the dressing and excess fluid from the wound starts to enter the dressing
• The dressing is described as helping to keep bacteria from entering the wound
• The source also states that it may improve blood flow to the wound
• Approved for use on acute wounds, chronic wounds and closed surgical incisions
• PICO 7 is a portable system that allows patients to continue daily activities
