FOR
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY
“Any Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System is really only as good as its dressings."
NPWT System Manufacturer.
ENLUXTRA® Self-Adaptive Wound Dressings have been cleared by the FDA for use as part of an NPWT kit (see page 4 of the approval letter), supporting their safe and effective integration with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.
This clearance provides confidence that ENLUXTRA® can be used in conjunction with NPWT pumps, helping clinicians extend the benefits of adaptive moisture control and high fluid handling within NPWT protocols while maintaining safety and performance standards.
ENLUXTRA® Benefits in NPWT
- ENLUXTRA® dressings are super-absorbent and stackable, allowing clinicians to achieve even two to three times higher absorption capacity for heavily exuding wounds - providing an added safety margin in situations where NPWT pumps may temporarily lose vacuum.
- Enluxtra dressings have high absorption and exudate locking in capacity and do not collapse under negative pressure due to the 3D super-absorbent matrix structure. The 3D matrix structure allows air and fluid passage even at maximum dressing swelling and does not have gel blocking problems.
- Enluxtra dressings are cuttable and trimmable for placement optimization or body part interference elimination.
- Application of Enluxtra dressing NPWT kit is similar to conventional NPWT dressing kits with foam or gauze.
The exudate absorption capacity of Enluxtra dressings is comparable with the canister volume of portable NPWT pumps. That is why Enluxtra is used efficiently with modern miniature canisterless pumps.
Enluxtra enhances NPWT by:
Enluxtra enhances NPWT by:
- delivering adaptive moisture control alongside high fluid handling, supporting a stable wound environment throughout therapy.
- preventing desiccation and maceration,
- removing slough and microorganisms from the wound
- extending the use to wounds with bare bone or tendon,
- reducing wound pain
- allowing intermittent use of negative pressure, temporal vacuum disconnection, or drape airtightness loss without sacrificing removal of the exudate.
