A negative-pressure wound therapy system canister is a disposable container designed to collect fluid and waste drawn from a wound during vacuum-assisted closure therapy. It works as part of a negative pressure wound therapy setup, capturing exudate and infectious materials from the dressing to maintain a clean, sealed environment for healing.
This device is intended for single use only and must be discarded after each treatment cycle in accordance with local regulations for handling contaminated medical waste. It is typically constructed from transparent plastic to allow visual monitoring of fluid levels and is connected to the therapy system’s vacuum pump to facilitate fluid collection.
