According to a recent review, application of a single-use negative pressure wound therapy system reduced the rate of SSI by 58% compared to standard of care. Additionally, patients had less hospital LOS compared to standard of care.[1]
The Genadyne NPWT portfolio is completely comprehensive, from Ultraportable Single-Use and Reusable Pumps to High Demand and Instil Pumps. The Dressing Portfolio is compatible across all NPWT Pumps, allowing for an all-inclusive ecosystem for a hospital institution. From Absorbent Dressings that can be used with or without NPWT, ready to use Foam Dressings, and all the way to large Foam Kits, Abdominal Kits and PVA Kits.
Closed incision management negative pressure has been proven to:
- Protect the incision from external contamination
- Hold closed incision wound edges together
- Help reduce tensile forces across the incision
- Help reduce oedema
- Reduce seroma and haematoma fluid collection
- Suitable for dehisced wounds, trauma wounds, partial thickness burns, flaps and grafts
Green Foam
More than just a colour…
The visual impact of the Genadyne Green Foam is undeniable. Green was chosen to allow clinicians to better differentiate between viable and nonviable tissue in the wound bed. The colour contrast increases differentiation with the wound bed.
Competitor
Patented Genadyne Green Foam
- Genadyne Green Foam is a fully reticulated polyurethane foam made with polyether resin to allow better hydrolytic stability. The design increases performance under pressure and in moist environments.
- The Dodecahedron cell structure gives a three-dimensional skeletal strand to the cells providing enhanced filtering qualities and increasing the removal of exudate and infectious materials. This cell structure also increases tensile strength to prevent fraying. Fraying is significantly reduced, preventing stray pieces from being left in the wound bed.
- The combination of cell structure and composition gives the foam a non-adherent property, allowing for easier removal during dressing changes, thereby reducing pain and discomfort.
- The foam creates direct contact with the wound bed, allowing for even distribution of pressure. This assists in reducing oedema and promotes tissue perfusion and granulation.

Variable Pressure
The advanced variable pressure capabilities of all of the Genadyne Negative Pressure Pumps, allow different negative pressures to be used without the downsides of painful intermittent therapy.
By maintaining negative pressure throughout the cycle, variable negative pressure wound therapy avoids losing an airtight seal and displacement of the dressing. This gradual “wave” is gentler to the patient increasing blood flow to the peri-wound and preventing ischemia. The changes in pressure are imperceptible to the patient, increasing patient comfort and compliance.
The literature suggests that the use of Variable Pressure is beneficial. It results in decreased blood flow that is known to stimulate angiogenesis and granulation tissue formation and to increase blood flow that is known to facilitate oxygenation and nutrient supply and removal of waste products. [2]
Cycling the negative pressure level may be beneficial especially when treating poorly vascularized tissue with a risk for development of ischemia, as pressure is released repeatedly.[2]
