Description
The Cork Nisus Y-Connector lets one Nisus pump treat two wounds on the same patient at the same time, which matters when a patient presents with paired wounds of the same type. Instead of a second pump and a second therapy setup, the connector splits the circuit so both dressings run on one pressure program. It is a small part that removes a large scheduling problem.
- Two Wounds, One Pump – The connector treats multiple wounds simultaneously, which frees the second pump for another patient.
- One Pressure Program – Both wounds run the same pressure settings, which keeps the therapy plan simple and consistent.
- Works Across Nisus Dressings – The connector is indicated for use with all other Nisus NPWT wound dressings, which simplifies stocking.
One Pump, Two Wounds, a Single Pressure Setting
Some patients carry two wounds that behave like one problem, such as paired ulcers of the same etiology on opposite limbs. Cork designed this connector for exactly that case, provided the multiple wounds are the same etiology requiring the same pressure settings. The Y shape joins both dressing circuits to a single Nisus pump, so negative pressure therapy reaches both wound beds under one program. That keeps the treatment plan, the alarm watch and the documentation on one device instead of two. For a wound service, the connector turns a two-pump case into a one-pump case without changing what the wounds receive.

Why Two-Wound Cases Start with a Y-Connector
A second pump is the expensive answer to a two-wound patient, and it doubles the setup, the alarms and the notes. When both wounds share an etiology and a pressure program, the connector is the direct answer. One device, one plan, both wounds treated.
- Frees a Pump – One Nisus unit covers the two-wound case – the second pump stays available for the next admission.
- One Plan to Manage – A single pressure program serves both wounds – settings, alarms and documentation stay unified.
- Always in Stock – A case of 10 waits on the shelf – multi-wound cases start without a special order.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Y-connector do?
It connects two wound dressings to a single Nisus NPWT pump so multiple wounds on the same patient can be treated simultaneously. Both wounds receive therapy under the same pressure settings.
Can any two wounds share a pump through this connector?
The wounds should be the same etiology requiring the same pressure settings, as Cork specifies for this accessory. Wounds needing different pressure programs are treated on separate setups.
Which dressings work with the connector?
Cork indicates the Y-connector for use with all other Nisus NPWT wound dressings. It is part of the Nisus accessory platform alongside the canisters and dressing kits.
How is the connector packaged?
It ships as a case of 10 connectors under part number CWY-100. The case format suits wound services that see multi-wound cases regularly.
Do both wounds receive the same pressure?
Yes, both dressings run on the single pump program, which is why Cork specifies that the wounds must require the same pressure settings. The shared program is what makes one-pump treatment possible.
