Initially, Salus Biomedical will distribute the product in Latin American markets, with US and other worldwide markets to follow.
Utilising a safe solid-state chemical reaction, NPSIMS creates and applies negative pressure in the treatment range to close incision sites for up to seven days.
It has a unique mode of action, with no moving parts or electromechanical components, and delivers similar clinical performance to other Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) devices that are currently available.
Aatru Medical COO Tom Lash said: “Market analysis and voice-of-customer feedback identified that users value the role of NPWT products in helping manage the risk of surgical site infections (SSI), although product complexity and the high cost of currently-available NPWT products is restricting use to mainly higher-risk incisions only.
