That oxygen is essential for life is well established, but what is becoming increasingly recognised is that it is essential for wound healing as well. In clinical settings, oxygen is now being studied to better understand how it may be included in routine clinical use.
NATROX™ is a new class 2B medical devices that enable clinicians to prescribe pure humidified oxygen applied directly to a wound to assist wound healing in chronic or non healing wounds.
NATROX™ lightweight and small size allows 24/7 oxygen therapy for patients at home or in the Hospital setting. It can be worn under clothing during the day in the pouch provided and positioned comfortably at night.
How does it Work?
The air you breathe contains only 21% oxygen. A wound when dressed has very limited access to oxygen. NATROX™ extracts oxygen from the air, and "delivers" it through a thin flexible tube to provide an oxygen rich atmosphere above the surface of a wound. There is no sensation of movement and NATROX™ is silent while providing a continuous flow (12ml/hr) of ‘pure’ humidified oxygen.
