6. Contraindications for Use
The extriCARE™ 2400 System should NOT be used in the following conditions:
• Exposed vessels, organs, or nerves.
• Anastomotic sites.
• Exposed arteries or veins in a wound. All exposed vessels and organs in
and around the wound must be completely covered prior to initiation of NPWT.
Note: A thick layer of natural tissue is preferred. Several layers of fine meshed
non-adherent material or bio-engineered tissue may be an alternative. Ensure
that protective materials will maintain their position throughout therapy.
• Fistulas, unexplored or non-enteric.
• Untreated osteomyelitis.
• Malignancy in the wound. The system may be used after excision of
malignancy if all margins are clear.
• Excess amount of necrotic tissue with eschar. Note: The system may be
used with a minimal amount of slough or after debridement of necrotic tissue.
• Wounds which are too large or too deep to be accommodated by the dressing.
• Inability to be followed by a medical professional or to keep scheduled
appointments.
• Allergy to urethane dressings and adhesives.
• Use of topical products which must be applied more frequently than the
dressing change schedule allows.
