When to use the device
(Indications for use)
The Invia Motion Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)
system is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction
device (NPWT) as when used on open wounds it creates an envi-
ronment that promotes wound healing by secondary or tertiary
(delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure,
reducing edema, promoting granulation tissue formation and perfu-
sion, and by removing exudate and infectious material.
When used on closed surgical incisions, the Invia Motion NPWT
system is also intended to manage the environment of surgical inci-
sions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure by
maintaining a closed environment and removing exudate via the
application of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.
The Invia Motion NPWT system is appropriate for the following
indications:
– Acute or subacute wounds
– Chronic wounds
– Dehisced wounds
– Pressure ulcers
– Diabetic/Neuropathic ulcers
– Venous insufficiency ulcers
– Traumatic wounds
– Partial thickness burns
