Intensity Control
·
·
·
·
Intensity is related to the time it takes to reach the target therapy level after the initiation of
therapy.
The lower the intensity setting, the slower the target therapy level will be reached.
It is recommended that new patients begin therapy at the lowest intensity setting as this
allows for slower increase of negative pressure once the foam is compressed in the
wound.
The intensity can remain at the minimum setting throughout the entire length of treatment, if
desired.
