KCI Medical Canada, Inc. provides V.A.C.® Therapy and
Therapeutic Support Systems to Hospitals, Home Care and Long Term
Care Facilities. Our products are available for both rental and
purchase.
Our rental program includes the added benefit of clinical and
technical services including educational programs and value added
initiatives.
The purchase of a KCI Therapy Product becomes the full
responsibility and ownership of the customer purchasing. Extended
warranty, service and maintenance packages should be considered at
the time of purchase or within the first year.
Payment of our products is based on the funding made available
by our customers in all sectors which include Acute Care, Community
and Long Term Care.
In the province of Ontario, the Ministry of Health recognizes
the need to move patients more quickly through the continuum. This
decreases the length of stay in the Acute Care setting and prevents
readmissions secondary to development of pressure ulcers as
patients can now be managed within Long Term Care facilities. As a
result the Ontario High Intensity Needs Document was developed to
access funds to approved residents in Long Term Care that require
pressure ulcer and wound care treatment including our advanced
V.A.C.® Therapy and Therapeutic Support Systems.
Our Therapies have been funded by Third Party agencies including
Insurance Companies, WSIB, First Nations and Veterans Affairs
depending on the patient specific criteria and whether there is
coverage for V.A.C.® Therapy or Therapeutic Support
Systems within the patient's policy.
