Smith & Nephew have made a number of improvements to the existing PICO Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (sNPWT) technology, to further enhance performance and optimise wound healing. Released in 2018, PICO 14 is Smith & Nephew's most advanced wound therapy device.
Examples of appropriate wound types include:
Use uninterrupted for up to14 days, potentially saving time and money by optimising dressing changes
Twice as effective at dealing with air leaks, compared to the previous version of PICO sNPWT4
Can be used in hard-to-seal or awkward places
Improved patient experience with a more efficient, quieter pump and integrated belt clip for full portability
A new ‘dressing full’ change indicator, designed to help optimise dressing change frequency, including an integrated ‘start date’ note area.
AIRLOCK™ Technology distributes pressure evenly for optimal comfort and performance
