Smith & Nephew RENASYS WF White Foam NPWT Dressing, Small, Sterile
Small White Foam Dressing for Restricted Granulation in Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
Product Description
Managing complex wounds with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) requires a wound filler that suits the specific needs of the wound bed. While standard foam is commonly used to stimulate granulation, there are clinical situations where a less adherent filler or a dressing that helps restrict granulation tissue formation is preferred. In these cases, clinicians need a specialized alternative that still integrates seamlessly with their existing NPWT system
The Smith & Nephew RENASYS WF White Foam NPWT Dressing is designed for these specific clinical scenarios. This small, dense, open-pore polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) foam is pre-moistened with sterile water and is intended for use with RENASYS Touch or GO Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Systems . Due to its higher density compared to standard foam, White Foam may be deemed suitable when the stimulation of granulation tissue is to be restricted or when a less adherent dressing is required . It is indicated for a variety of wound types, including chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acute, dehisced wounds, ulcers, partial-thickness burns, flaps, and grafts
This Smith & Nephew dressing is designed for careful clinical application. The foam should be cut to fit loosely into the wound bed and never packed tightly, with care taken to ensure no fragments fall into the wound during cutting . It is supplied sterile and moist, and should be used as soon as possible after opening . The small size is ideal for smaller wound cavities. Each box contains 10 dressings

Why Choose Smith & Nephew

This gives clinicians the flexibility to choose the right filler for the patient's specific wound characteristics. - Designed for safe and effective NPWT:
As part of the integrated RENASYS system, White Foam is engineered to work seamlessly with RENASYS pumps and canisters. The pre-moistened format simplifies preparation, and the clear clinical guidelines for cutting and application help support safe, effective therapy delivery . - Reliable supply and value:
The box of 10 provides a convenient supply for scheduled dressing changes. The small size allows for targeted use on appropriately sized wounds, helping to minimize waste
