1. Introduction
The extriCARE® 3600 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Pump System is a multi-purpose
negative pressure pump and dressing system.
The extriCARE® 3600 NPWT pump is a portable, battery powered pump which may
promote wound healing through the drainage and removal of wound exudates,
infectious material, and tissue debris from the wound bed using continuous and/or
intermittent negative pressure.
The extriCARE® Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Bandages and the extriCARE® Negative
Pressure Wound Therapy Foam Kits are both extriCARE® Wound Dressing intended to be used
with an NPWT device to treat acute and chronic wounds which have failed to heal
despite good wound care. Patients with chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and
dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, diabetic ulcers, neuropathic ulcers,
pressure ulcers, flaps and grafts may benefit from this system.
The extriCARE® 3600 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy pump and extriCARE® wound
dressings are able to produce a negative pressure environment in either intermittent
or continuous mode. This allows the user to program the specific pressure ranging
from 40mmHg to 200mmHg. In continuous mode, the pressure is applied to the
wound as long as the pump is powered on. In intermittent mode, the pump will
alternate between applying pressure for 5 continuous minutes and reducing
pressure to 20mmHg for 2 minutes.
The extriCARE® device is meant for continuous use (at least 22 of 24 hours per day).
The extriCARE 3600 device is not to be used for home use.
Caution: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a licensed healthcare
practitioner.
