Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is recognized as one of the most effective methods for healing wounds. However, it’s often used as a last resort due to challenges such as high costs, big and bulky designs, and the complexity of managing its treatment programs.
Cork Medical, a leading provider of innovative wound care solutions, is reshaping the way healthcare professionals think about NPWT, with its newly launched Versa device. Versa is disrupting the NPWT industry because it’s dramatically cutting the cost of managing NPWT, while designed to be small, quiet, portable, and user friendly.
Healthcare professionals in both home care and long-term care settings now have access to an affordable clinical solution that won’t compromise on power or performance. Versa’s intuitive design simplifies patient operation, which can lead to reduced service interruptions, improved patient compliance and better clinical outcomes.
Using the Versa in a Home Care Setting
When it comes to the home care setting, clinicians demand a wound healing solution that’s portable, easy to use, and has features tailored to the patient’s needs. After 20+ years of NPWT’s technological advancements, Cork Medical’s Versa is among the first wound healing solutions to give clinicians what they deserve at an affordable price. See how the Versa is meeting the demands of clinicians:
Enhances Patient Compliance: Quiet and powered by three AA lithium batteries, Versa provides continuous, easy-to-manage treatment for up to a week—ideal for maintaining patient independence and comfort at home. And with a compact, easy to release 100ml canister, it supports discrete mobility and easy handling.
Promotes User Friendly Experiences: With no power cords, Versa’s replaceable batteries make it safer and easier to use in the home. Versa’s intuitive one-button display also simplifies operation for both clinicians and patients to minimize user error.
Offers a Top Clinical Solution: Versa meets FDA standards to deliver optimal NPWT outcomes. The device is equipped with continuous and intermittent modes, precise pressure control, and on-screen troubleshooting. Versa also uses a standard wound dressing kit (available in small, medium, and large) to align with standard NPWT treatments.
Reduces Service and Interruptions: Affordable and versatile, Versa can be used as a single-use device or up to multiple uses on multiple patients. Service is reduced with patients receiving new or slightly used equipment rather than old and used devices that are often used over the course of 2-5 years.
Using the Versa in a Long-Term Care Setting
For long-term care facilities, managing the cost and product efficiency is top priority. NPWT is often used as a last resort because of its complex expense tracking, frequent maintenance requirements, and the need for additional staffing to manage the treatment program. These challenges are what make it difficult for long-term care facilities to onboard NPWT. However, the Versa is changing the dynamic of the NPWT industry.
Facilities who have chosen to adopt the Versa have found it enhances patient compliance, improves ease of use, and streamline clinical solutions. Notably, the Versa eliminates the need for additional staffing to manage inbound/outbound flow of NPWT orders, while delivering these other operational and clinical benefits:
Lowered NPWT Costs: Versa offers advanced NPWT at a fraction of the traditional cost, making NPWT an affordable modality to heal wounds. No longer should NPWT be the last choice, but rather the first choice for wound healing.
Reduced Inventory Management: Affordable and versatile, Versa can be used as a single-use device or up to multiple uses on multiple patients, eliminating the need for costly capital expenses or the costs associated with renting equipment.
