Dynamic exudate removal technology represents an innovative method for effectively managing wound exudate by employing dynamic mechanisms to boost fluid removal from the wound bed, thereby fostering optimal conditions for wound healing. For instance, in August 2023, Medela, a Swiss-based medical equipment manufacturer, launched its Invia integrated wound dressing. This sterile dressing is appropriate for a variety of wound types, including closed surgical incisions, and can be used conveniently in home or hospital settings for periods of up to seven days. The company secured approval from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its ‘peel-and-stick’ adhesive. It features a three-layer fluid handling pad with a skin-friendly silicone adhesive border. Additionally, the new dressing includes a Quick-Connector, which is a standard component across all of the company’s NPWT products, simplifying pump-to-dressing connections.
