SNaP® Wound Care System 2) Please tell our readers how your product works with NPWT systems. Spiracur Inc. developed the SNaP® Wound Care System, a disposable, pocket-sized negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device. The SNaP® System provides the same level of negative pressure as competitive technologies without electricity or batteries. Unlike powered NPWT, the SNaP® System is silent, small and lightweight. 3) Does your product operate without electricity or batteries? Yes, the SNaP® System uses a proprietary spring mechanism to generate consistent, even levels of pressure. 4) Does your product operate silently? Yes, it requires no noisy motors, electronics or batteries to interfere with daily living. 5) Is your product portable? Yes, it is a pocket-sized device that can be worn discreetly under clothing. 6) How much does your product weight? 66g. 7) Does your product include an advanced wound dressing? Yes, it has a proprietary hydrocolloid dressing which may reduce periwound maceration. 8) Does your contact layer have antimicrobial properties? Yes, it contains 0.2% Polyhexamethylene Biguanide. 9) What levels of negative pressure does your product deliver? The SNaP® System is available in 125 mmHg, 100 mmHg and 75 mmHg pressure settings. 10) Is there a cut-off, which stops suction if the canister is full? Yes, this safety feature is available. 11) Is there a one-way valve to prevent fluid from coming back through the tubing toward the patient?

The SNaP® System requires two dressing changes per week. 14) Is your system quicker to apply than a powered NPWT device? Yes, the SNaP® System takes about half the time to apply than a powered negative pressure device. 15) Have you conducted any clinical studies with your product? Yes, we have conducted a prospective, multicenter, randomized-controlled study demonstrating non-inferiority to powered NPWT in wound healing outcomes. 16) Is your product available off-the-shelf? Yes, the off-the-shelf availability eliminates the rental procurement process.
