Lots (2)

  • NPWT Pumps, Rental and Pump Accessories

    This lot encompasses the provision of NPWT pumps and associated accessories intended to facilitate wound healing through the application of controlled sub-atmospheric pressure. NPWT is widely utilized to promote wound closure by secondary intention, effectively removing exudate and encouraging granulation tissue formation, which supports cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. Additionally, NPWT may be employed to reduce the risk of surgical wound dehiscence in patients identified at risk.

    £62,226,649
  • NPWT Consumables

    This Lot is for the consumables used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy pumps.
