How Does the ComforTech Dressing Work?
As part of Pensar Medical’s MicroDoc sNPWT system, the ComforTech dressing seals and protects the wound site and utilizes gentle negative pressure to enhance wound healing. The ComforTech dressing helps to:
Manage exudate
Reduce edema
Stimulate blood flow promoting granulation tissue formation
By removing potentially infectious materials, the MicroDoc system with ComforTech dressings supports an optimal healing environment to aid in reducing wound size and accelerate healing compared to traditional dressings.

ComforTech’s Innovative Materials and Features
ComforTech sNPWT dressings feature a highly breathable film, eliminating the need for a canister and thus promoting greater mobility and patient compliance.1 It not only enhances wound contraction but also supports granulation tissue formation. Clinical results demonstrate that a canister-less, sNPWT device can reduce lateral tension across a closed incision, which may contribute to fewer surgical site complications with incisional NPWT.2 This research indicates that sNPWT significantly enhances wound healing, reduces subcutaneous fluid accumulation due to improved lymphatic clearance, and lowers the incidence of surgical site infections (SSIs) by at least 76% in post-arthroplasties7 and 50% for post-mastectomy breast reconstructions.3 Additionally, patients who used sNPWT experienced a 92% reduction in the mean length of hospital stay.5
The ComforTech dressing comes as a single-piece dressing with reinforcement strips if needed, making it easy to apply without complex assembly or setup, ensuring it is accessible for numerous clinical settings. This easy-to-apply dressing manages excess moisture to facilitate a moist healing environment while preventing maceration. The dressing can be worn for seven (7) days, and in most cases is changed every three to four (3-4) days based on the healthcare provider’s orders or when a dressing change is indicated.
This innovative dressing has a silicone adhesive which is gentle on the skin with a hydro fiber-foam to absorb and cushion. It features four unique layers to safeguard acute, chronic, surgical, and traumatic wounds:
The innermost layer boasts a gentle adhesive creating a secure seal
The absorptive layer transfers wound drainage into the moisture-locking layer to prevent backflow, thereby reducing the risk of infection and further injury
These three layers are protected by a highly flexible, waterproof outer layer to protect the wound while ensuring patient comfort

Benefits of Treatment with ComforTech Dressings
The ComforTech sNPWT dressing is engineered to be discreet and lightweight, enhancing patient comfort and mobility. Reducing tension on wound edges minimizes pain and discomfort to facilitate a more comfortable healing process.6 The ComforTech’s flexible design adapts to the body’s contour to prevent unnecessary trauma and supports improved comfort, quality of life, and treatment compliance. Further, the reduced frequency of dressing changes allows patients to quickly resume their daily activities, promoting a smoother and more efficient recovery.
