This beautifully simple, sleek and effective device delivers the benefits of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), such as surgical site infection reduction and scar minimization, while removing the barriers of high complexity and cost.

Our Story. Our Vision.

Guard Medical is the medical device company behind NPseal that is focused on creating ground-breaking, cost-effective, and easy-to-use devices that advance the standard of care for surgical patients. Founded by medical professionals and industry leaders, Guard Medical is using decades of real-life expertise to develop new products that help reduce Surgical Site Infections while making Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) more accessible. We believe that all patients deserve better, smarter healing. By offering products that are easy-to-use and cost-effective, patients can benefit from proven therapies that promote healing. Guard Medical’s simple NPWT technology originated with New York-Presbyterian and Weill Cornell Medicine in response to physicians’ identification of unmet needs related to Surgical Site Infections (SSI).

Negative Pressure Vs. Dermabond

The patient was satisfied with both scars however he preferred the scar which was dressed with the NPseal® dressing.

With the purpose of evaluating the ease of use and the aesthetic result of the NPseal negative pressure wound therapy device, a direct comparison between Dermabond closure and NPseal negative pressure wound therapy was evaluated. Laparoscopic port site incisions were dressed with either Dermabond or the NPseal negative pressure wound therapy device and aesthetic and functional outcomes were evaluated.
