Description
The Cork Nisus Extension Tubing adds 24 inches to a port pad line, which solves the quiet problem of a wound that sits far from where the pump can rest. Taller patients and wounds on distal parts of the body stop tugging at the dressing every time the patient shifts. The extra length turns into extra mobility for the whole therapy day.
- 24 Inches of Added Reach – The extension lengthens the port pad tubing, which lets the pump sit where it belongs instead of where the tubing ends.
- Built for Distal Wounds – Wounds on far portions of the body stay connected comfortably, which supports taller patients and lower limb wounds.
- More Patient Mobility – Slack in the line means movement without pulling at the dressing, which protects the seal through the day.
Two Extra Feet of Freedom Between Pump and Wound
Standard port pad tubing assumes the pump can sit close to the wound, and plenty of real patients break that assumption. A tall patient with a heel or lower leg wound ends up with a line that runs tight, and a tight line pulls at the port pad every time the leg moves. This extension adds 24 inches to the port pad tubing, restoring slack so the dressing stays settled while the patient repositions, stands or walks. Cork indicates it for single wounds where the patient needs longer tubing to increase mobility. It is a simple length of tubing that protects the two things NPWT depends on, the seal and the patient's willingness to keep moving.
Features and Benefits
Reach and Fit
- Added Tubing Length: adds 24 inches of length to the port pad tubing run
- Distal Wound Support: aids patients with a wound located on distal portions of the body, where standard tubing runs short
- Taller Patient Fit: the extra length accommodates taller patients whose pump placement sits farther from the wound
Therapy Handling
- Mobility Support: slack in the line increases patient mobility without pulling against the port pad
- Single Wound Use: indicated for single wounds where the patient needs longer tubing to increase mobility

Why Longer Tubing Changes the Patient's Day
A tight tubing run is a constant small fight between the patient and the dressing, and the dressing usually loses. Twenty four extra inches removes the fight by letting the pump rest in a natural spot. The seal holds, the line stops tugging, and the patient moves the way therapy intends.
- Protects the Seal – Slack replaces tension at the port pad – fewer tugs means fewer seal disturbances.
- Fits Real Bodies – Tall frames and distal wounds get working room – the setup adapts to the patient, not the reverse.
- Mobility Preserved – Patients reposition and walk without managing a tight line – movement stays part of the therapy day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the extension tubing do?
It adds 24 inches of length to the port pad tubing on a Nisus NPWT setup. Cork indicates it for single wounds where the patient needs longer tubing to increase mobility.
Who benefits from the extra length?
Taller patients and patients with wounds on distal portions of the body benefit most, because their pump placement sits farther from the wound. The added slack keeps the line from pulling at the port pad.
Does it change the therapy settings?
No, the extension only lengthens the tubing run between the port pad and the pump circuit. The pressure program and dressing stay exactly as prescribed.
How is it packaged?
It ships as a case of 10 extension tubes under part number CSP-100-ES-EXT. Each tube adds one 24 inch extension to a port pad line.
Does the extension work with standard Nisus dressings?
Yes, it lengthens the port pad tubing that Nisus dressing kits use, so it joins the standard dressing routine. Cork indicates it for single wounds where the patient needs longer tubing to increase mobility.
