Efficient wound management matters

Delayed healing and complications can result in patient discomfort and significant care burdens, impacting clinical outcomes.

40% of wounds are infected or critically colonised¹.
Hard-to-heal wounds can result in pain, morbidity, prolonged treatment and in some cases major reconstructive surgery².
Chronic wounds are associated with reduced quality of life, mobility and mental wellbeing for both patients and caregivers³.

Facilitate healing with a smarter way to manage wounds

Wounds may be susceptible to contamination or the development of bioburden – key contributors to complications like infection, inflammation, and delayed healing. Veraflo Therapy combines vacuum assisted drainage with automated topical wound solution distribution to consistently cleanse and manage bioburden.
