Advanced Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Without Foam or Gauze
Introducing PWD
Platform Wound Dressing (PWD), by Applied Tissue Technologies, is an advanced, transparent negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) dressing that delivers consistent, effective NPWT without the need for traditional foam or gauze fillers. Designed with a proprietary embossed structure, PWD evenly distributes negative pressure across the wound surface while helping reduce pain at dressing changes and minimizing the risk of tissue ingrowth. Its simplified, single-layer design supports faster application, improved patient comfort and reliable fluid management across a wide range of acute and chronic wounds, making it a streamlined, clinically effective alternative to conventional NPWT dressings.
Advancing negative pressure wound therapy
Unlike traditional NPWT systems that rely on foam or gauze interfaces, Platform Wound Dressing uses a single-layer, impermeable membrane with an embossed pattern that eliminates the need for fillers. This design allows the dressing to operate effectively at lower negative pressures while maintaining consistent wound coverage.
Clinical and preclinical evaluations have demonstrated that PWD can support wound healing and bacterial burden reduction at pressures as low as –50 mmHg, potentially reducing discomfort associated with higher-pressure NPWT systems.
Key product features
No foam or gauze required
The embossed surface replaces traditional fillers, reducing the risk of tissue ingrowth and material fragmentation.
Non-invasive, transparent design
Allows clinicians to visually assess the wound without removing the dressing.
Effective at lower negative pressures
Designed to operate at pressures as low as –50 mmHg, supporting patient comfort while maintaining therapeutic effectiveness.
Integrated adhesive seal
Flexible, transparent dressing seals to the skin just outside the wound perimeter, supporting secure placement and visualization.
Clinical applications
PWD may be used for:
- Acute wounds
- Chronic wounds
- Traumatic injuries
- Surgical wounds
- Burn wounds
Designed for clinical efficiency
PWD supports use in a variety of care settings — from hospitals and outpatient clinics to environments where rapid application and minimal equipment are essential.
