NPWT Incision Management Dressing
The Kendall™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Incision Management Dressing Kit is a wound dressing kit to be used with
Cardinal Health™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) CATALYST™, ALLY™ and ALLY TO GO™ systems (K171499). The
disposable single-use sterile Kendall™ NPWT Incision Management Dressing Kit consists of five dressing configurations,
tubing and drape strips. The dressing covers the closed surgical site and forms a seal over the sutured or stapled surgical
site. The proximal end of the tubing is attached to the dressing while the distal end of the tubing attaches to an exudate
canister. The powered suction pump delivers negative pressure to the dressing to aid in the removal of exudate from the
wound into the exudate canister. The drape strips are used to patch any air leaks if necessary.
