2 Description Introduction Lucy is a microjet wound therapy system MWT with high precision micro water jet technology. It consists of Lucy microjet and the optional Lucy aspirator or Lucy trolley. The compact system produces a fine waterjet to clean acute and chronic wounds in a precise and tissue-preserving manner.
Compliance with the proper irrigation and wound therapy procedures and techniques remains the responsibility of the physician. Each physician must evaluate the appropriateness of the treatment based upon their own knowledge and experience. medaxis Lucy microjet wound therapy MWT instruction for use...
