What is MV 01
The MiniVacuum MV01 is a device designed to regulate the vacuum of the hospital's centralized system, equipped with specialized functions for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on complex wounds. Furthermore, its versatility is further enhanced by compatible accessories, allowing for the execution of advanced techniques in the field of NPWT and beyond (e.g. Direct Peritoneal Resuscitation).
ADVANTGES
The uniqueness of the Mini Vacuum MV01 lies in its ability to create a stable and controlled vacuum, located downstream of the central high-vacuum system, allowing for negative pressure therapy even on wounds that are difficult to seal for anatomical reasons. Unlike other devices, the Mini Vacuum MV01 does not have an internal pump that could be damaged and fail to achieve the desired negative pressure in case of dressing adhesion loss. Instead, it harnesses the power of the centralized vacuum system to compensate for such losses, preventing common device blockages and reducing the need for intervention from hospital staff. Additionally, thanks to its direct connection to the hospital's vacuum system, the device is less prone to falls or damage, and both the display and canister remain easily visible to doctors and nurses.
FEATURES
-
Highly reliable and sturdy
-
Uses the hospital's power supply and negative pressure
-
Adjustable negative pressure: from -200 to 0 mmHg
-
High flow capacity: up to 5 l/min
-
Compatible with hospital canisters through Hospotica accessories
-
Visual and audible malfunction alerts for safety
-
Designed for static use with bedridden or ICU patients
-
The three distinct modes are:
-
Continuous depression;
-
Oscillating depression;
-
Intermittent depression.
-
-
The oscillating and intermittent functions allow you to set two different depression values (within the range of 0 to -200 mmHg) and a selectable time period, from 40 to 600 seconds.
Other uses
The MV01 device can also be used in:
-
Enterocutaneous and enteroatmospheric fistulas: These cases represent significant challenges as they involve both the difficulty of maintaining a stable dressing and the need to aspirate a significant amount of material.

-
Endo-sponge: When administering endo-sponge, creating vacuum requires application to a small-bore drainage tube, thus requiring a reliable and robust device. Furthermore, the use of intermittent vacuum with short cycles is particularly advantageous as it prevents the "wall" effect at the inner end of the endo-sponge.
(Reference: “Tringali A, Bove V, Landi R, Magalini S+, Gui D+. Technical notes on continuous naso-intestinal suction in complex intestinal fistulas.”)
-
Sacral decubitus dressings: These situations lead to frequent dressing leaks, often accompanied by alarms. However, the Mini Vacuum system demonstrates remarkable compensation capabilities in these circumstances.
