Exsudex® instillation technique
Negative pressure therapy, in combination with the administration / removal of a topical instillation fluid in the wound bed, can have a positive impact on reducing the bacterial load in the treatment of infected, complex and non-healing wounds by means of a specific wound dressing ( set with green hydrophobic double spiral foam with honeycomb structure, for optimal administration and drainage of the instillation fluid).
Instillation can be applied with the Exsudex® XL-i: the user can choose between:
- automatic instillation mode
With the Exsudex® instillation technique, the instillation fluid is administered via a double lumen instillation suction pad.
Benefits of the Exsudex® instillation technique include:
Prevention of leakages in the dressing since the patient is always in a correct position when administering the fluid.
The quality of the dressing can be checked at the time of instillation fluid administration.
For larger tissue defects, the application of multiple double-lumen suction pads is possible, which ensures optimum distribution of the instillation fluid administered.
The instillation software with the Exsudex® XL-i also contains pre-programmed protocols for instillation of eg Prontosan® (soaking time 15 minutes).
Nevertheless, all parameters can be changed by the user at any time. Both the instillation fluid and the dressing type (foam or gauze) can be selected.
