POSiFECT® Features
POSiFECT® is a one-piece construction made up of standard dressing materials. The bio-current therapy is integrated into the dressing matrix. The therapy is powered by the POSiFECT® Monitor.
Adherent to the outer tan adhesive part of the dressing is a flexible metal ring (the anode). This is one of two contacts which are used to maintain and deliver the bio-current to the wound. The second contact (the cathode) is on the end of a soft, insulated medical grade wire that is attached to the power unit under the dressing flap. This contact is placed on the wound bed during use. Both the anode and cathode are covered in a sodium-rich hydrogel to ensure good electrical contact.
The POSiFECT® Monitor attached to the dressing contains a low voltage battery supply and a tightly controlled microcurrent delivery system. This system continuously and automatically adjusts the microcurrent to levels clinically shown to initiate the wound healing process. Each dressing has enough battery life to continue working for at least 48 hours. An adhesive-backed ‘lid’ is fitted to cover the wound and maintain a moist wound environment. It can also be used to secure additional absorbent dressing material if required, along with the cathode, on the wound surface.
