The extriCARE 3600 NPWT pump and foam kit are designed to treat wounds with large amounts of exudate, including critical wounds. The products are intended to be used in acute care and post-acute care settings, as well as skilled nursing facilities. Features of the extriCARE 3600 include a 24-hour continuous, rechargeable battery, a rotatable back-mount for securing the device to hospital bed rails and IV poles, pressure settings between 40-200mmHg of pressure, and various alarms signaling air leakage, low battery, and other errors, according to the company. The device currently utilizes a 400cc disposable canister, and a 1,000cc canister is in development.
“This regulatory approval is a significant step for Devon Medical Products as it opens the door for us to treat a broader range of wounds commonly found in institutional settings,” Devon Medical President Chip Ross said. “We added this larger NPWT pump and a foam wound dressing kit to help complete our NPWT product line and provide wound care professionals with the technology to manage wounds.”
The extriCARE 3600 is ideal for use on chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers, flaps, and grafts.
