Smith & Nephew | PICO | Which Medical Device
From Which Medical Device
The PICO is a single use negative pressure wound therapy system from Smith and Nephew. The device and dressing can be used for up to seven days. Rather than use a canister, the PICO dressing move exudate away from the wound and initiates evaporation. The dressing is straightforward to apply and differs from the sponge-based VAC system. However, it seems more suited to wounds with low volumes of exudate and without large cavities.
