Spiracur

Spiracur was a medical device company that specialized in the development of innovative wound healing technologies, specifically focusing on negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). The company's flagship product, the SNaP (Smart Negative Pressure) Wound Care System, was a non-powered, portable device designed to treat chronic and acute wounds. Unlike traditional NPWT systems that require heavy electronic pumps and batteries, the SNaP system utilized a proprietary mechanical spring mechanism to create suction, offering a lightweight and silent alternative for patients. This technology significantly improved patient mobility and quality of life while maintaining clinical efficacy in wound closure. Spiracur was acquired by Acelity (KCI) in 2015 to bolster their portfolio of portable and disposable wound care solutions.
