Smithfield, RI (PRBuzz.com) January 25, 2013 -- EquinoxO2 Medical, LLC, developer of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) foam dressings and pump systems, announced today the development and distribution of its HALO G6 NPWT Pump System, Part# ACP. The HALO G6 NPWT pump was designed for ambulatory patients. At 1.8lbs, the Halo G6 is an extremely light weight and portable system that combines advanced technology with easy-to-use features.
The new Halo G6 pump is designed to operate while upright or when laying flat on its side. This design feature helps address an issue faced by many of the pumps in today's market, which tend to fail or stop operating when the pump is tipped on its side. In addition, the Halo G6 was engineered with a new pump piston that is outside the pump and works with a 300 cc canister with piston integration. The pump system was developed to prevent potential contamination to the internal components, without the risk of leakage to address infection control issues.
The new portable Halo G6 NPWT Pump System was created to provide an affordable option to patients and healthcare facilities.
Chronic, non healing or untreated wounds are clinically affecting many patients and adding significant cost to our healthcare system. This cost is estimated at $113 billion. This medical cost will continue to increase even with competitive bidding starting by the end of 2012. Equinox believes that affordable npwt technology should be available to all chronic patients. "We are very proud to offer patients and clinicians the HALO G6 NPWT System, the latest offering in our expanding npwt product portfolio for the successful treatment of all chronic wounds and affordable access to negative pressure therapy." said Rian Mallari, president and chief executive officer, EquinoxO2 Medical, LLC.
