Posted: Wednesday, July 16th, 2008
Talley Group are delighted to announce that the Venturi™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy system has received clearance from the FDA.
Talley Group CEO Chris Evans stated
With over 2 years of European experience in the NPWT arena, the FDA’s clearance to market the product in the US clearly demonstrates the International attention the Venturi™ product range has attracted. We are looking forward to working with our partners to develop the exciting business opportunities
The Talley Group design and manufacture the Venturi NPWT System at their Hampshire base in the UK.
The user friendly and cost effective Venturi pump unit was designed to provide NPWT and has sophisticated alarm functions, an integrated canister which is sealed and incorporates exudate solidifying granules, as well as hydrophobic and bacterial filters. This product range is just one example of the advanced manufacturing processes employed at the Talley Group’s purpose built premises, where further space has recently been made available to cater for the increased international demands.
The gauze based dressing technique used with the pump system was first described by Chariker–Jeter et al in 1989 and involves the application of a moistened anti-microbial dressing (AMD) gauze and a silicone drain to the wound, which is then covered with a transparent film, ensuring an air tight seal and a moist wound healing environment is maintained. The drainage tubing is connected to the canister attached to a pump where the pressure is regulated. Once the prescribed pressure is set, negative pressure is delivered to the wound. Using this technique utilises lower pressure settings, usually between 60-80mmHg of negative pressure.
Clinicians who have used this technique have found that the application of moistened gauze enables it to be manipulated to the exact shape of the wound creating a moist wound environment. The use of the gauze in this way is simple, quick and easy to use, teach and learn. The soft flexible silicone drains can be cut to length for a custom fit and the choice of different dressing sets allow the clinician to select the right one for the wound type being treated. Everything needed to apply the dressing to the wound is included in these individual sets.
