For wound therapy, the geko® device must be reused for a maximum of 2 days, then discarded. It can be used over a 24 hour period. The device can be stored using the backing card.
The usage duration for the geko® W3 device depends on the indication and specific instructions. Here are the key points:
- For wound therapy with the W3 model: each device is intended for 2 days of treatment (wearing ~12 hours per day).
- Within that treatment, you need to give your skin a break: there must be at least a ~6-hour rest period between sessions
After those 2 days, the device must be discarded (single-use per patient course). So in short: for the W3 wound therapy use, you can wear it 12 hours/day for up to 2 days, then discard
