The system uses a foam bolster to generate negative pressure at -125mmHg for up to seven days and is based on the patented SENSAT RAC Technology to monitors and control pressure at the incision site.

It features a replaceable 150ml canister to keep exudates away from the incision site.

“This risk is increased by factors such as anatomical location or incision length.
