皮科Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System

皮科Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System (sNPWT) technology is completely portable1and clinically effective in the treatment ofsurgical2-22,chronic23-29andacute11,20,24,30wounds.

皮科’s unique features: Pioneering by design.

Stabilised healing process

Our unique AIRLOCKTechnologylayer distributes pressure evenly and consistently for up to 7 days15, with optimal fluid management to help reduce the potential for maceration*15

Reduced damage and pain on removal

Gentle silicone adhesive* helps protect the skin and may contribute towards improved scar formation3,21,31-32whilst treating the underlying zone of injury. Helps to minimize pain on the peri wound area on dressing removal15,20,25,30-33.


Shown in-vitro to reduce the lateral tension across a closed surgical incision34.

Enhanced patient safety

Softport allows PICO to be used on weight-bearing areas, and with compression therapy35-39.

Bacterial protection

In vitro testing demonstrated that 99.9% of bacteria was locked away from the wound when absorbed into the AIRLOCK Technology layer**40

Fewer wound complications4-6


Through early or prophylactic use, PICO is clinically effective to both prevent infection2,7and promote healing1, 28when compared with standard care across a number of specialties and patient profiles.

  • A meta-analysis demonstrated a 58% reduction in SSIs***2.
  • Incidences of dehiscence reduced by 75% in a breast cancer study****8.
  • Seroma following abdominal surgery for Crohn’s disease up to 82% lower, compared to standard care*****9.
  • Significantly improved surgical scar appearance in mammoplasty******21.

Multiple mechanisms of action for optimal performance6

皮科is setting new standards in clinical efficacy2, backed by extensive and robust clinical research, helping you get CLOSER TO ZEROdelay in wound healing, andCLOSER TO ZERO surgical site complications.
