ring solution that utilizes the application of negative pressure to a wound to promote healing by creating controlled tissue strain and removing excess fluid, including wound exudate. Every aspect of the System, from the wound interface to the user interface, has been designed to attain optimal clinical outcomes as well as a simplified application and monitoring system for patient care.

"This publication is just the beginning in the development of our clinical evidence base in support of this advanced NPWT technology," said Marcus Schabacker, Chief Scientific Officer, ConvaTec.
