Description
The Cork Nisus NPWT Canister in the 500 mL size is the larger reservoir in the Nisus canister pair, built for wounds that drain heavily enough to fill a smaller canister mid-shift. Its latch design maintains a hermetic seal that sustains pressure under variable conditions, so therapy keeps running while the canister does the collecting. This listing is the case of 20 format used for facility stocking.
- 500 mL Reservoir – The larger volume holds more drainage between changes, which suits high-output wounds.
- Hermetic Seal Latch – The latch design seals tightly and sustains pressure, which keeps therapy steady under variable conditions.
- 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.
500 mL Capacity for Heavier Wound Drainage
High-output wounds punish an undersized canister with constant changes, and every change is a chance to interrupt negative pressure therapy. This 500 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 at twice the volume of the 250 mL size. A dam design inside keeps the membrane dry, which prevents false canister-full alarms even as the reservoir fills. The one-handed release keeps the swap itself quick when the canister finally does fill. For surgical and trauma wounds in their heavy drainage days, the larger reservoir means the therapy schedule, not the canister, decides when staff return to the bedside.

Why Larger Wounds Get the 500 mL Canister
Canister changes are necessary work, but they are also interruptions, and heavy drainage turns a small reservoir into a round-the-clock task. The 500 mL format doubles the collection volume of the smaller Nisus canister while keeping the same seal, filters and one-handed handling. Fewer changes means steadier therapy and fewer night calls.
- Double the Volume – 500 mL of capacity against the 250 mL size – high-output wounds fill it on the therapy schedule, not the hour.
- 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.
- Facility Case Format – A case of 20 matches unit stocking – the supply room keeps pace with heavy drainage cases.
Manuals and Troubleshooting Guides
Frequently Asked Questions
When should the 500 mL canister be chosen over the 250 mL?
Cork positions the 500 mL size for larger wound drainage and the 250 mL size for portability. A wound producing heavy exudate fills the larger reservoir less often, which reduces change interruptions.
What does the 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.
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 500 mL size packaged?
This listing is a case of 20 canisters under part number CPC-500. The same canister is the larger half of the Nisus canister pair, alongside the 250 mL size.
