Atlas System Technology
An advance wound healing technique that promotes Vascular Profusion, Reduces Edema, enhances Micro Angiogenesis which aids in wound healing in acute as well as chronic scenario
This technique involves the use of open cell non-linear PU foam to seal the surface of wound with a transparent adhesive film followed by application of intermittent or constant pressure through a therapeutic NPWT device
PU FOAM
Structure : Open Cell Reticulated Poly urethane Foam
Property : Hydrophobic
Property : 400-600 microns porosity, non-linear network
Retains moisture balance/ Promotes Aggressive Granulation
PVA FOAM
Extremely hydrophilic and possesses impressive retention, because of capillarity caused by micro open pores in all directions.
Elasticity & tensile properties helps safe application without giving any harmful effects when used in tunneling wounds/skin grafts or flaps
Property : Hydrophilic/Non-adherent
Property : 100-150 microns porosity, non-linear network
Retains moisture balance/ Promotes Aggressive Granulation
What Conditions indicate caution?Active bleeding or patient on anticoagulant therapy
Proximity of blood vessels, organ muscle and fascia requiring protection
Irradiated vessels and tissues
Bone fragments
Untreated malnutrition
Non-compliant or combative behaviour
NPWT IndicationsAcute wounds
Full-thickness surgical wounds
Chronic wounds
Stage 3 pressure ulcers
Stage 4 pressure ulcers
Diabetic ulcers
Venous stasis ulcers
Traumatic wounds
Dehisced wounds
NPWT ContraindicationsMalignancy in wound
Necrotic tissue with eschar
Untreated osteomyelitis
Fistulas to organs or body cavities
Do not place Atlas System dressing over exposed arteries or veins
Dressing Application Technique
Step 1 : Debride & Clean the Wound with Isotonic Solution
Step 2 : Cut the Foam Dressing in the shape of Wound and place it on Wound Bed
Step 3 : Seal the Wound with semi-permeable drape & make a small hole in the centre
Step 4 : Stick the map tubing distal end keeping symmetry with hole in centre & connect with the negative pressure source
Therapy Dressing Benefits
Flexible foam dressing adapts to the contours of deep & irregular surface of the wound bed
Specially designed hydrophobic, non-linear networked foam dressing removes bacteria colonised wound exudate
The foam dressing aggressively promotes uniform healthy granulation tissue formation throughout the wound bed
Proven Cost Effectiveness
Atlas System has been used on more than a million wounds worldwide. Clinical studies have shown that Therapy has the potential to help
