Acute wounds: acute trauma, intraoperative irrigation, purulent wounds, soft tissue trauma, and open fractures. It can effectively remove superficial particles and secretions and reduce the number of bacteria.
Chronic wounds: burns, pressure sores, diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers, non-healing wounds after surgery, etc. During the granulation period of chronic wounds, it can remove non-viable tissue, and keep the wounds clean.
Used in any settings alike: home, clinic or hospital, pneumatic irrigation enables thorough and painless deep cleansing treatment, optimizing the healing process.
Utilizing the Venturi principle, high-speed airflow separates and atomizes the irrigation solution into microdroplets measuring 5–10 µm, accelerating them to speeds exceeding 100 m/s. This advanced mechanism enables the precise removal of debris, bacteria, necrotic tissue, biofilm, and exudate from the wound surface, while minimizing patient discomfort. This method is particularly effective for cleaning hard-to-reach wounds and eliminating bacterial biofilms, making it an ideal solution for thorough and gentle wound care.
Effective cleaning: powerful jet stream, effectively removing bacteria and foreign matter.
Pain-free: The powerful yet remarkably gentle microdroplets provide a cooling and analgesic effect, enhancing patient comfort during the procedure.
Minimal amount of solution: Minimum flow rate as low as 10ml/min, ideal for bedside application.
The wound surface is often uneven and filled with crevices, making it challenging to thoroughly clean all areas using conventional methods. Pneumatic irrigation addresses this by atomizing the irrigation solution into microdroplets. These microdroplets impact the wound surface and tissue gaps at high speed, effectively dislodging bacteria and foreign matter—a result that cannot be achieved with standard wiping or high-volume pulsatile lavage.
The key advantage of pneumatic irrigation lies in its ability to clean intricate wound surfaces with gaps. Not only does it provide superior cleaning compared to pulse irrigation, but it also uses minimal liquid and causes significantly less pain. This makes it an ideal solution for clinical wound care, enhancing both effectiveness and patient comfort.
A splash guard should be utilized during irrigation, positioned to lightly touch or remain in close proximity to the wound surface to minimize aerosol dispersion. For intraoperative irrigation in confined spaces, the splash guard may be temporarily removed to facilitate precise and effective wound cleaning.
