Medical technology company Smith+Nephew has launched its RENASYS EDGE Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) System in the US.

The NPWT System is designed to improve home-based care for patients with chronic wounds, including ulcers.

The RENASYS EDGE system’s user-friendly interface offers step-by-step guidance on therapy applications, and technical support is readily available through a near-field communication feature.

Furthermore, Smith+Nephew supports the product with round-the-clock customer service and a dedicated clinical hotline.

The company has also revealed partnerships with SunMED Medical Solutions and First Nation Group to distribute the RENASYS EDGE System nationwide.

Smith+Nephew NPWT vice-president and general manager Laura Ackerman said: “When designing the RENASYS EDGE System, we kept patients and their needs in the forefront of our minds. It’s the very definition of our purpose – Life Unlimited - allowing patients to continue with their daily lives while receiving prescribed negative pressure wound therapy.

“And now with SunMED in the commercial healthcare market and First Nation Group supporting our veterans, RENASYS EDGE will be able to create a lasting impact on the way patients experience the benefit of negative pressure wound therapy in the comfort of their home.”

Last year, Smith+Nephew signed an exclusive agreement with Navbit for the distribution of the latter’s disposable navigation device in Japan.

The small, disposable, compact navigation device can be used for either supine or lateral approaches to primary hip arthroplasty.
