Smith & Nephew PICO 7 Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System

The Smith & Nephew PICO 7 is a sophisticated medical device designed for Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (sNPWT). This pocketsized system is widely utilized in clinical settings and home care to manage acute and chronic wounds, as well as closed surgical incisions, by applying sub-atmospheric pressure to promote healing and reduce edema.

Founded in 1856 in Hull, England, the Smith & Nephew brand has grown from a local pharmacy into a global medical technology powerhouse. The PICO system represents a significant innovation in the field of advanced wound management, offering a canister-free alternative to traditional negative pressure units. Ownership of the brand remains under the parent company, Smith & Nephew plc, which is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. Manufacturing of these devices typically occurs at the company's major production hubs, primarily in the UK to ensure strict medical-grade quality standards, with additional component assembly occasionally occurring in their global facilities.
