Device typeNegative-pressure wound therapy system foam dressing, antimicrobial: A pad made of open-cell foam material designed to be placed into a wound during a vacuum-assisted wound closure procedure; commonly known as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), and that contains an antimicrobial agent [e.g., silver (Ag)]. It is typically used to treat hard-to-heal open wounds (e.g., acute, traumatic, and chronic), burns, diabetic/pressure ulcers, flaps and grafts. Under NPWT, the open-cell foam dressing decompresses capillaries/lymphatic vessels, improves blood/interstitial fluid circulation, draws wound edges together, facilitates granulation tissue formation, and prepares the wound bed for closure. It may be cut to conform to the wound. This is a single-use device.
