PICO 7 Multisite
The new PICO Multisite range is an addition to the current PICO range.

PICO 7 Multisite will allow for improved ease of application and conformability in awkward to dress anatomical areas such as heels, elbows, axilla, and sacrum to provide additional confidence in the application of effective negative pressure wound therapy.

Each Kit includes a unit and 2 dressings

Released in 2018, PICO 7 is our most advanced wound therapy device.

Indications

PICO* Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device (negative pressure wound therapy) as it may promote wound healing via removal of low levels of exudate and infectious materials.

Examples of appropriate wound types include: chronic; acute; traumatic; subacute and dehisced wounds; partial-thickness burns; ulcers (such as diabetic or pressure); flaps and grafts; closed surgical incisions.

Suitable for use in both a hospital and home care setting.

Contraindications

The use of PICO is contraindicated in the presence of:
• Patients with malignancy in the wound bed or margins of the wound (except in palliative care to enhance quality of life).
• Previously confirmed and untreated osteomyelitis.
• Non-enteric and unexplored fistulas.
• Necrotic tissue with eschar present.
• Exposed arteries, veins, nerves or organs.
• Anastomotic sites.
• Emergency airway aspiration.
• Pleural, mediastinal or chest tube drainage.
• Surgical suction.

Warnings and Precautions

Warnings:

• Certain patients are at high risk of bleeding complications which, if uncontrolled, could potentially be fatal. Patients must be closely monitored for bleeding. If sudden or increased bleeding is observed, immediately discontinue therapy, leave dressing in place, take appropriate measures to stop bleeding and seek immediate medical assistance.
• The use of anticoagulants does not deem a patient inappropriate for treatment with PICO*, however, haemostasis must be achieved before applying the dressing. Patients suffering from difficult haemostasis or who are receiving anticoagulant therapy have an increased risk of bleeding. During therapy, avoid using haemostatic products that may increase the risk of bleeding, if disrupted. Frequent assessment must be maintained and considered throughout the therapy.
• PICO is unsuitable for use in areas where there is danger of explosion (e.g. hyperbaric oxygen unit).
• PICO is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anaesthetic mixture with oxygen or nitrous oxide.
