Description
The Cork Cleanse Therapy Kit lets the care team irrigate a wound while negative pressure therapy keeps running, instead of choosing between washing the wound bed and holding the seal. A second port at the base of the pad takes the bolus syringe, so solution goes in at any point in the healing process without opening the dressing. For contaminated or slow wounds, that combination does two jobs in one setup.
- Irrigation Without Opening – Fluid is injected through the secondary port on the port pad, which leaves the dressing intact during cleansing.
- Bolus Syringe Included – A 60 mL luer lock syringe comes in the kit, which puts manual application under the clinician's control.
- Runs with NPWT – The kit irrigates while the pump delivers negative pressure, which removes exudates and debris between cycles.
- Clinician-Chosen Solutions – Normal saline, antimicrobials and antibiotics can be injected as ordered, which fits the kit to the wound's orders.
Irrigation Without Breaking the Dressing Seal
Wounds that need washing usually lose their dressing to get it, and every removal restarts the work of sealing and settling the wound bed. This kit is designed to irrigate the wound while simultaneously providing negative pressure wound therapy, working with the entire Nisus device portfolio. The extra port at the base of the pad makes it easy to manually apply solution with the bolus syringe during any point in the healing process, while the dressing stays intact around it. The dome-like silicone port pad withstands collapsing under suction yet stays soft and comfortable on the skin. Cleanse therapy is generally used for 7 to 14 days or as ordered by the clinician, and the kit's single-use format keeps each course clean from start to finish.

Why Irrigation Works Better Inside the Seal
Every dressing removal costs time, supplies and a fresh seal, and wounds that need irrigation used to pay that cost at every wash. This kit moves the wash inside the sealed dressing, so cleansing happens on the therapy schedule instead of against it. The wound gets both treatments, and the team gets the dressing changes back.
- Two Therapies, One Setup – Irrigation and negative pressure run together – neither treatment waits for the other to finish.
- Dressing Stays Intact – Solution enters through the port, not through a peeled drape – the seal survives every cleanse.
- Ordered Solutions Welcome – Saline, antimicrobials or antibiotics go in as ordered – the kit follows the clinician's plan, not a fixed formula.
