| Healing In The Palm Of Your HandTM |
EpiFLOSDconsists of a small, silent, disposable, oxygen concentrator and a 60" long sterile cannula (tube). It is used with any fully occlusivesterile wound dressing to continuously blanket the wound with near 100% oxygen. The patient is free to ambulate and can continue with normal daily living activities while being treated 24 hours per day for 7 or 15 days (2 formats available). EpiFLOSD is worn near the wound beneath clothing without impairing its operation.
This is the entire oxygen concentrating device. Actual size is approximately 2" x 2.5" x 1"; weight for the 7-day and 15-day EpiFLOSD units are 3.7 and 3.0 oz respectively.

How it Works
The air you breathe contains 21% oxygen. Using patented processes, EpiFLOSD extracts oxygen from the air, concentrates it to near 100%, and "pumps" the oxygen through the cannula to blanket the wound covered with a fully occlusive dressing of the doctor’s choice. The dressing does not inflate and the patient has no sensation of air movement. EpiFLOSD provides a silent, continuous, slow flow of oxygen (3 ml/hr for 7 or 15 days) that will not dry out the wound. Moist wound healing is encouraged. Some clinicians suggest that EpiFLOSD mimics the bloodstream in delivering the necessary metabolic energy to oxygen starved cells. EpiFLOSD energizes ischemic cells to jump start the natural healing process. Oxygen blanketing the wound helps metabolically energize cells to form collagen, granulation tissue, new blood vessels and skin. |
