NATROX Wound Care

Description

NATROX O2 is a discreet, wearable medical device that stimulates healing by delivering oxygen 24/7 directly to wounds. Patients can seamlessly integrate it into their daily routines while benefiting from continuous topical oxygen therapy. Comprising three key components, the NATROX O2 oxygen generator is powered by one of two interchangeable, rechargeable batteries. The NATROX O2 oxygen delivery system is a sterile, single-use tube and wound interface that allows exudate to pass into a secondary dressing. NATROX O2 is an adjunct to standard care and can be used alongside other therapies such as compression, total contact casting, collagen applications, skin grafts and skin substitutes.
