Intended environment
The Invia Motion NPWT system is intended for use in acute, exten-
ded and home care settings.
When to use the device
The Invia Motion Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)
system is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction
device (NPWT) as when used on open wounds it creates an
environment that promotes wound healing by secondary or tertiary
(delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure,
reducing edema, promoting granulation tissue formation and
perfusion, and by removing exudate and infectious material.
When used on closed surgical incisions, the Invia Motion NPWT
system is also intended to manage the environment of surgical
incisions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure
by maintaining a closed environment and removing exudate via the
application of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.
The Invia Motion NPWT system is appropriate for the following
indications:
– Acute or subacute wounds
– Chronic wounds
– Dehisced wounds
– Pressure ulcers
– Diabetic/Neuropathic ulcers
