Surgical caseloads are progressively more complex. High risk patients are increasingly common with a higher number of obese patients, older patients and more patients with multiple co-morbidities.
These patients groups are known to be at a higher risk of post-surgical complications. This is why it is more critical than ever to seek solutions that can help you achieve predictable outcomes.
PICO, from SMITH & NEPHEW, is a canister-free, single-use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System (NPWT), proven to significantly reduce post-operative complications. PICO can help improve the speed, strength, quality of incisional wound healing, minimising the failures of healing that lead to infection and/or dehiscence, giving more control over what happens when the patient leaves theatre.
