Description
The Cork Nisus NPWT Canister in the 250 mL size collects wound drainage for the Nisus platform while its hermetic seal sustains pressure under variable conditions. The smaller volume suits patients who are up and moving, because the canister travels with the pump instead of anchoring the patient to a bedside setup. Graduated markings on the wall turn every check into a quick, readable exudate measurement.
- Hermetic Seal Latch – The latch design seals tightly and sustains pressure, which keeps therapy steady under variable conditions.
- One-Handed Release – The canister releases and removes with one hand, which speeds changes during rounds.
- Graduated Markings – Printed volume indications aid in measuring exudate fluid, which makes output checks quick and consistent.
- Preassembled Drainage Tube – A 30 inch tube with clamp and male luer is already attached, which removes a setup step at change time.
250 mL of Drainage Capacity That Travels with the Patient
On the Nisus platform, the canister is the part of negative pressure therapy that fills up, gets measured and gets swapped, so its design decides how smooth a therapy day feels. This 250 mL canister works with the Nisus pump and the wound dressing kit to collect and store wound drainage, tissue debris, infectious material and excess exudates. Inside, a dam design keeps the membrane dry, which prevents the false canister-full alarms that interrupt therapy and pull staff back to the bedside. The sealed latch holds a hermetic closure even as conditions change, so the patient keeps the flexibility to be portable while therapy continues. For home-care and step-down patients who walk the hall with the pump, the compact 250 mL format is the size that keeps that routine light.

Why the 250 mL Canister Suits Mobile Patients
A full-size canister makes sense at a bedside, but it works against a patient who is supposed to be walking. The 250 mL format keeps the Nisus setup compact while holding the same seal, filters and measurement markings as the larger size. Therapy stays continuous, and the patient stays portable.
- Compact 250 mL Volume – The smaller canister keeps the setup light – patients carry the pump without a bulky reservoir.
- No False Full Alarms – The dam design keeps the membrane dry – staff are not called back for alarms that are not real.
- Faster Changeovers – One-handed release and a preassembled tube shorten the swap – rounds keep moving on schedule.
- Measured Every Time – Graduated walls turn drainage into a number at a glance – output tracking stays consistent across shifts.
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 250 mL canister collect?
It collects and stores wound drainage, tissue debris, infectious material and excess exudates drawn from the wound by the Nisus pump. The graduated indications on the canister wall help staff measure the exudate at each check.
How does the canister prevent false full alarms?
A dam design inside the canister keeps the membrane dry during therapy. Because the membrane stays dry, the pump is not tripped into a canister-full alarm before the canister is actually full.
Is tubing included with the canister?
Yes, the canister is preassembled with a 30 inch drainage tube that carries a clamp and a male luer. It connects to the dressing kit and pump without extra tubing parts.
Is the canister reusable?
No, the canister is a single use, non-sterile disposable. Used canisters are disposed of under local biohazard waste rules at home or institutional biomedical waste procedures in facilities.
How is the 250 mL size packaged?
It ships as a case of 40 canisters under part number CPC-250. The 250 mL size is the portable option in the Nisus canister pair, with a 500 mL size offered for larger wound drainage.
