Patient Pre-Op & 8-Weeks Post-Op With Silicone Sheeting Scar Treatment

Patient Pre-Op & 8-Weeks Post-Op With Silicone Sheeting Scar Treatment

Incisional complications and delayed healing are not uncommon in breast surgery and tummy tuck procedures. The PICO negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system helps protect and heal post-surgical wounds by delivering the same level of effective negative pressure as traditional systems in a canister-free and disposable device, enabling a wide range of surgical applications. NPWT helps with post-surgical wounds by delivering a topical therapy controlled by sub-atmospheric pressure in a sealed system on the surface of the wound, increasing blood flow to the wound area. The PICO NPWT system also provides significant improvement in scar quality over the healing period.

The below image compares post-op breast surgery with and without use of the PICO NPWT.
