Smith & Nephew has received CE Mark approval for PICO, a portable single-use negative pressure wound therapy system. The pocket-sized device can be used for acute and chronic wounds, high-risk surgical incisions and skin grafts. It consists of a disposable, one-button pump, attached to a dressing which allows for fluid to be absorbed through the dressing. Cannisters are not needed and the dressing can be worn up to seven days.
