extriCARE™ 2400 Negative Pressure
Wound Therapy (NPWT) System

The FDA-cleared extriCARE™ 2400 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy pump is portable and battery-powered. The device generates negative pressure (suction) to remove wound exudates, infectious material, and tissue debris from the wound bed, which may promote wound healing.

NOTE: FOR PRESCRIPTION USE ONLY

The extriCARE 2400 Pump is used with Devon Medical Products’ proprietary extriCARE™ bandages. These bandages have a wound pad enclosed in mesh under a sticky film that can be applied directly onto the wound bed. There is a drainage tube that connects to a canister adjacent to the pump that collects exudates and bodily fluid. The bandages come in oval shapes as well as other designs.
