The PulseCare Medical Closed Pulse Irrigation™ system was founded by Dr. Patrick Marasco, an American Board Certified physician specializing in wound cleaning and care and reconstructive plastic surgery. The result is a unique Closed Pulse Lavage/Closed Pulse Irrigation™ system that allows patients to receive wound care by physical therapists at bedside. The system includes products that enable wounds to be safely sealed and isolated while they are irrigated by trained clinicians. PulseCare has been proven to reduce bacteria (biofilm) from the surface of wounds by 86.9 percent. PulseCare products eliminate the possibility of contamination through aerosolization and splash back, and they enable all byproducts of wound irrigation to be safely collected and disposed.
Advantages of using PulseCare as part of the wound care program:
- Removes necrotic tissue and slough
- Reduces biofilm by 86.9 percent with each treatment
- No other wound treatment can selectively debride, cleanse and remove bacterial biofilm with the same level of efficiency and safety.
- Biofilm can regenerate within 48 hours. This procedure is an essential selective debridement for removal of biofilm that sharp debridement cannot combat.
- Portable — can be used in skilled nursing facilities without risk of contamination
- Safe — eliminates aerosolization and splash back
- Cost-effective — eliminates cost and time of operating room debridement, because PulseCare can be safely administered at bedside
- Uses physical methods to eliminate biofilms (MRSA, PS, MDR-AC) without harming normal tissues
- Can be used to eliminate biofilm in conjunction with Negative Pressure Dressings (Wound VacTM and Blue SkyTM), Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments
- Well-tolerated with minimal discomfort during treatment
- Daily treatments by a physical therapist for enhanced wound bed preparation
A variety of patients can benefit from this wound intervention, including but not limited to patients with acute or chronic (non-healing) open wounds (surgical, vascular and pressure); patients with contaminated or infected wounds, including: MRSA (Methacillin Resistant Staph Aureus) and MDRB (Multi-Drug Resistant Bacteria).
