When to use the device
The Invia Liberty Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)
system is indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction
device (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy) as when used on

healing by secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by pre-
paring the wound bed for closure, reducing edema, promoting
granulation tissue formation and perfusion, and by removing exu-
date and infectious material.
When used on closed surgical incisions, the Invia Liberty NPWT
system is also intended to manage the environment of surgical
incisions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled clo-
sure by maintaining a closed environment and removing exudate
via the application of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy.
