LONDON – Smith+Nephew has been selected by the U.S. Department of Defense through the Defense Logistics Agency to provide its Renasys Touch Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Systems under a single award, 10-year contract valued at up to $75 million. The systems will support military medical providers to administer therapy through prolonged casualty care, first surgical intervention, aeromedical transport and definitive care in military treatment facilities. “Future conflicts will be more difficult and complex,” said Dennis Lyons, MSG (ret), SO-ATP and Sr. director military & federal health for Smith+Nephew. “This implies medical devices and treatments will need to be simplified and more intuitive to be used farther forward by a wide range of providers. Renasys Touch NPWT will provide that simplified negative pressure wound therapy solution to the military care continuum for warfighters who need it most.” The Renasys Touch offers portability, an intuitive interface and the ability to provide a range of therapy modes, setpoints and cycle times that allow individualized patient care, the company says.
