Boehringer Wound Systems is a wholly owned subsidiary of Boehringer Laboratories, Inc. which brings over 30 years of innovation in medical devices and hospital suction to negative pressure wound therapy. The technical innovations that are at the heart of the new Engenex® Advanced Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System are the collective result of more than 30 years of expertise in hospital suction systems, instrumentation for anesthesia and sterile consumables that contact delicate tissue. Since 1972, Boehringer Laboratories has successfully introduced many innovations in these fields, and has been awarded over 50 patents in the U.S.A. and in foreign countries. Boehringer Laboratories produced the first Inspiratory Force Meter with memory to assess a patient’s ability to breathe without mechanical ventilation. A Peak Flow Meter followed to assess obstructive lung disease.

The first practical PEEP (Positive End Expiratory Pressure) device was introduced shortly thereafter and is still an important life support and curative device. The first sterilizable Spirometer was patented in 1977 and has become a reliable diagnostic device for clinicians and a trusted calibration standard for many organizations.

A Long History In Suction Control and Negative Pressure Technology Boehringer Laboratories have been experts in hospital vacuum systems for more than 30 years. In 1986, they introduced the first sterilizable suction regulator line and have continued to advance the state of the art with patented technologies that enhance patient care. This work in the precision control of suction led to the development of a total system for gently collecting a patient’s blood in the perioperative setting. The result of this work is the Boehringer AUTO VAC Autotransfusion System; a carefully engineered combination of vacuum control, suction collection apparatus with a patented method of selectively removing lipids from shed blood.
