Patient Studies
Three studies of 50 patients (150 in total) were conducted in Germany making use of Lumina’s post-op and film dressings. The studies focused on the usability of dressings with switchable adhesive in a clinical setting and the use of the Switch Torch. The results show that both user and patient would use the product again.
1. SWITCHABLE FILMDRESSING AND NPWT
The study was initiated to evaluate if the switchable formulation of the adhesive ensures a durable and effective occlusion of the dressing and function of NPWT. Also that the defined adhesion is in the range of patient and user satisfaction.
