Wound Management

KCI’s V.A.C.^® Therapy and many of our Wound Care Surfaces are indicated to help treat and manage a wide variety of wound types and conditions.

Open Abdomen

A technique, also known as laparostomy, in which the fascia is left open intentionally to avoid elevation of intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) and where surgical re-exploration is desirable. Temporary abdominal closure (TAC) is achieved using a dressing or technology intended to protect the exposed viscera.

Incision Management

Incisions can carry complication risks. Therefore, there is a sense of urgency associated with the early management of incisions at risk of post-operative complications.

Bariatric Management

Morbid obesity is dangerously excessive body weight, which can significantly increase the risk of obesity-related co-morbidities. Morbid obesity is defined as being 45 kilograms or more over ideal body weight or having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher.

Skin Management & Wound Prevention

Pressure ulcers can present a significant challenge, resulting in increased morbidity, mortality and cost of care. KCI offers multiple therapies and technologies designed to protect patients’ skin.
