A new retrospective study of more than 17,000 orthopedic surgery patients provides timely evidence on the impact of single-use negative pressure wound therapy (sNPWT) systems in real-world practice. Leveraging the PREMIER PINC AI Healthcare Database, researchers compared outcomes for patients treated with PICO◇ sNPWT versus PREVENA™ from 2017-2022.

What you’ll learn from this analysis:

• How different sNPWT systems influence wound outcomes, including a 63.9% lower odds of dehiscence with PICO◇ sNPWT (p<0.05).
• The effect of therapy choice on length of stay, with 29.7% shorter hospitalizations observed in the PICO◇ cohort (p<0.0001).
• The role of sNPWT in reducing direct hospital costs—both at admission and post-surgery.
• Broader implications for balancing clinical performance with cost efficiency in orthopedic care.

This study highlights how evidence-driven comparisons of sNPWT solutions can guide providers toward strategies that improve patient recovery while containing costs. Access this insightful infographic to learn more!
