The home care setting indication already exists in the international approvals for the device.

The FDA 510(k) clearance of AOTI’s NPWT system was based on the submission of results from a human factors study that evaluated the safe and effective use of the device in the home care setting.

NEXA NPWT was developed to provide negative pressure therapy for patients with chronic or acute wounds in the form of a more portable and affordable device.

According to AOTI, the system is currently the only multi-week disposable NPWT system that delivers the performance of traditional NPWT systems at a lower cost.
