Research summary
PICO14 is a new dressing system made to treat surgical incisions or chronic wounds, and the purpose of this study is to check how the dressing is working and to check patient and clinician satisfaction.
PICO14 is based on an existing dressing called PICO. PICO is a negative pressure dressing which manages wounds and surgical incisions, it is known as a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system. The main difference
between PICO and PICO14 is PICO has provides treatment for up to 7 days whilst PICO14 can provide therapy for up to 14 days.Some evidence exists which supports the positive effects of NPWT in surgical closed incisions and chronic wounds.
The aim of this study is therefore to assess the safety and clinical performance of the PICO 14 system in delivering NPWT. This study is designed to fulfil the requirements of a PICO14 Post Market Clinical Follow up.REC name
