Description
The Genadyne XLR8 Canister collects the exudate that NPWT pulls from the wound, in the capacity that matches how much the wound is actually draining. A canister that is too small interrupts therapy with constant changes, and one that seats poorly can break the seal that therapy depends on. This canister locks onto the port pad line and clips to the pump, so the fluid path stays sealed from dressing to disposal.
- Secure Luer Lock – The connection twists onto the silicone port pad line, keeps the fluid path closed under pressure.
- Slip and Clip Attachment – The canister mounts to the pump in one motion, makes changes fast during rounds.
- Mix and Match Sizing – Either size pairs with any Genadyne dressing kit, lets the team size the vessel to the wound.
- Sealed Fluid Path – Exudate travels from dressing to canister inside closed tubing, supports clean handling at disposal.
Canister Capacity Matched to the Wound's Drainage
Negative pressure therapy only works while the fluid path stays closed, and the canister is where that path ends. Genadyne builds this canister family across a range of volumes, and the two sizes here cover the drainage levels most XLR8 and XLR8 Plus cases produce. The 200 cc canister suits lighter exudate and shorter wear intervals, while the 400 cc canister is a single-patient-use vessel that ships with its tubing and without a lid. Both sizes attach to the silicone port pad with a secure luer lock and clip onto the pump with the same slip and clip motion. Either canister can pair with any Genadyne dressing kit, so the team sizes the vessel to the wound instead of the other way around.
Features and Benefits
Connection and Sealing
- Luer Lock Attachment: The canister locks onto the silicone port pad line with a secure luer connection that resists accidental separation.
- Slip and Clip Pump Mount: The vessel slips and clips onto the pump body, so seating the canister takes one motion and no tools.
- Tubing Included: The 400 cc canister ships with its tubing, so the fluid path is complete out of the package.
Capacity and Use
- Two Capacity Options: The 200 cc and 400 cc volumes let clinicians match the vessel to the drainage rate of the wound.
- Single-Patient Use: The 400 cc canister is designated for one patient, which supports infection control between cases.
- Carrying Bag Compatible: All sizes work with the Genadyne carrying bag for patients who move around during therapy.

Why the Canister Choice Matters More Than It Looks
A therapy plan can be perfect on paper and still stall at the canister, with alarms, seal breaks and unplanned changes. This canister family answers with a locking connection, a one-motion pump mount and volumes that fit the drainage instead of fighting it. The team spends its time on the wound, and the patient gets therapy that runs the way it was prescribed.
- Fewer Interruptions – Capacity matched to drainage means fewer mid-interval changes – therapy hours stay on plan.
- Sealed and Secure – The luer lock holds the line closed under pressure – staff trust the setup between rounds.
- Any Kit, Either Size – Both volumes pair with every Genadyne dressing kit – stocking stays simple for the supply room.
- Genuine System Fit – The canister comes from the same maker as the pump – the mount and seals match by design.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which pumps do these canisters fit?
These canisters are made for the Genadyne XLR8 and XLR8 Plus NPWT pumps. They mount with a slip and clip attachment and connect to the dressing line by luer lock.
What is the difference between the 200 cc and 400 cc sizes?
The 200 cc canister suits lighter drainage and shorter intervals, while the 400 cc canister holds more exudate between changes. The 400 cc version is single-patient use and ships with tubing and without a lid.
Can either canister be used with any dressing kit?
Yes, Genadyne designs the canister family to mix and match with any of its dressing kits. The clinician picks the capacity the wound needs and pairs it with the dressing already in use.
How does the canister connect to the dressing?
The canister uses a secure luer lock attachment to the silicone port pad line. That locked connection keeps the fluid path sealed while negative pressure runs.
How many canisters come in a package?
The 200 cc canisters ship ten per box, and the 400 cc canisters ship ten per case. Both sizes are stocked for routine replenishment of XLR8 therapy programs.
