TOPICAL WOUND OXYGEN THERAPY (TWO2)
Description/Composition
Topical Wound Oxygen Therapy product range includes both reu sable and single-use systems that operate by applying cyclical oxy gen pressure directly to the wound site within a sealed and humidi fied environment. This provides a greater tissue oxygen diffusion gradient and increased tissue oxygenation, which enhances antimi crobial actions, stimulates angiogenesis and maximizes collagen production. The cyclical nature of the pressure also creates a sequential compression effect which helps reduce peripheral edema and stimulates wound site perfusion.
Cost and Cost Efficacy
Results (>80% in 12 weeks! of complete wound healing of various ulcer types suggest excellent cost efficacy.
PRESENTATION/ DIMENSIONS
The Topical Wound Oxygen Therapy System is available with both reusable and single-use chamber options to meet your specific patient care and reimbursement needs.
