The CATALYST™ removes uid from a wound by using carefully
controlled suction. Watch the wound and the device to make
sure that the CATALYST™ is working properly.

for detailed instructions. Electronic copies can be found at
cardinahealth.com and by searching CATALYST™ NPWT Patient
User Manual. Printed copies are available by request.

the wound or instructed by your healthcare professional.
