Current dressings used with the wound healing therapy called Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) involves placing either PVU or PVC foam or a gauze-enveloped, perforated, silicone tube/drain into a wound, sealing it with a film dressing and connecting to a suction pump. Both are connected by tubing to a suction device at a set pressure to promote healing. These are used expressly for open wounds both acute (surgical incision separations, traumatic skin/tissue loss, etc) and chronic (bedsores, diabetic foot ulcers, leg ulcers, etc) to promote healing.

Mobility Solution's dressings potentially provide the same effect on healing but differ from the aforementioned in that our dressings encompass the wound and may promote healing without direct contact. This unique variation on Negative Pressure Therapy is based on the laws of physics via the use of an enclosure type of device such as a modified suction cup or encompassing chamber. This assures greater ease of application, greater ease of removal, dramatic potential reduction in pain, and reduced time, energy and effort on the part of the medical staff to apply. All this results in an equally effective, less costly, streamlined dressings application and removal process.

New Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Dressings

All of the presented products have received market exposure and have been used to treat patients.

While the current utilization of dressing products associated with use of Negative Pressure as a “healing modality” involves obvious soft tissue defects (wounds), an evaluation of the market suggests that even this is an underutilization. We feel this has to do with:

  • The previously discussed drawbacks of the currently available, marketed NPWT dressings.
  • Unfamiliarity of providers with the available NPWT dressings
  • Inability of providers to transcend the current uses of these NPWT dressings to other situations
  • Lack of universal availability of NPWT dressings
  • Lack of familiarity with benefits/risks of NPWT

    • Other considerations for utilization of NPWT not currently being met with the currently available dressing incarnations include:

  • The utilizations specified in the discussion of each of the previous dressings
  • Treatment of burns of the extremities
  • Treatment of truncal burns or other truncal tissue injuries without depth.
  • Stabilization of dressings, splints, tissue grafts, etc. in areas formerly difficult to maintain stability
