When To Use The The Device (Indications For Use); When Not To Use The Device (Contraindications) - Medela Invia Liberty Instrucciones De Uso

When to use the device
The Invia Liberty Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)
system is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction
device (NPWT) as it creates an environment that promotes wound
healing by secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by pre-
paring the wound bed for closure, reducing edema, promoting gran-
ulation tissue formation and perfusion, and by removing exudate and
infectious material.
When used on closed surgical incisions, the Invia Liberty NPWT sys-
tem is also intended to manage the environment of surgical incisions
that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure by main-
taining a closed environment and removing exudate via the applica-
tion of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.
The Invia Liberty NPWT system is appropriate for the following indi-
cations:
– Acute or subacute wounds
– Chronic wounds
– Dehisced wounds
– Pressure ulcers
