Nexa

Nexa

Multi-patient, portable, disposable, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system that can be used for 8 weeks. Delivers -125mmHg or -75mmHg pressures, depending on the dressing used. A disposable, flexible fluid container can manage up to 125ml of exudate. Rechargeable battery provides up to 10 hours of continuous use. NEXA is recyclable - simply place it in the bag and send it back once finished with.

Nexodyn

Nexodyn acid oxidising solution (AOS) is an active wound cleanser with ancillary antimicrobial benefits that enable it to be used for debridement, wound irrigation, cleansing and moistening. Nexodyn contains hypochlorous acid (HCIO), which is very safe and is an antimicrobial agent that inhibits the growth of microorganisms within the solution and thus acts as a preservative. HCIO plays an active role in restarting healing, reducing pain and providing protection from the risk of infection.
