Pressure Injury
About Pressure Injury
KCI designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of products for the management of pressure Injuries. A pressure ulcer, or bed sore, is a localized injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue, usually over a bony prominence. It can result from pressure alone or in combination with shear or friction.
Our solutions are built on a deep understanding of wound healing, supported by a large body of clinical evidence.
The Science Behind Our Products
Our solutions are built on deep scientific expertise, supported by a large body of clinical evidence.
Because each wound is different, Acelity offers a comprehensive range of solutions to address specific healing needs and care environments. Prevention and timely intervention can lessen the severity of pressure Injuries.
V.A.C.® Therapy
KCI provides a wide range of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy systems for hospital, community or home treatment. Since its launch in 1995, V.A.C.® Therapy has changed the way wounds are managed. Backed by more published clinical evidence than any other Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Systems, V.A.C.® Therapy has become the clinicians' treatment of choice for more than 10 million wounds worldwide.* V.A.C.® Therapy creates an environment that promotes wound healing through the application of negative (vacuum) pressure at the wound site. This helps draw wound edges together, remove infectious materials and promote granulation tissue formation.
*As of June 2016, more than 10m wounds have been treated worldwide with the V.A.C.® Therapy System.

Advanced Wound Dressings
Every wound is different. That is why KCI provides a comprehensive range of advanced wound dressings to help address each wound's specific needs. Our product portfolio is the result of over 80 years of experience developing innovative solutions to help you mange wounds towards healing.
A number of our advanced wound dressings such as SILVERCEL™ NON-ADHERENT Antimicrobial Alginate Dressing with EASYLIFT™ Precision Film Technology and PROMOGRAN PRISMA™ Wound Balancing Matrix, help to reduce bacterial bioburden in the dressings, while our other advanced wound dressings such as ADAPTIC TOUCH™ Non-Adhering Silicone Dressing serve as a gentle silicone wound contact layer. TIELLE™ Hydropolymer Dressings with LIQUALOCK™ Advanced Absorption Technology maintain a moist wound environment which can be conducive to wound healing.
The TIELLE LIQUALOCK™ Dressings are designed not to leak and the foam expands and conforms to the contours of the wound bed, helping to avoid pooling of exudate, which may be helpful in the treatment of pressure ulcers with broken skin. The secure polyurethane adhesive border (on the adhesive variants) provides secure adhesion when needed to help avoid issues associated with leakage and soiling and allows skin-friendly dressing removal.
