PREVENA™ Incision Management System
The PREVENA™ Incision Management System protects the incision from external contamination, helps hold incision edges together, removes fluid and infection materials, and delivers continuous negative pressure at -125mmHg for up to seven days.
PREVENA™ Incision Management System Features:
- Single-patient use
- Lightweight and portable
- One-touch operation for continuous negative pressure -125mmHg up to 7 days
- Multiple dressing options for linear, non-linear, and multiple incisions
- Replaceable canister
- Audible and visual alarms
- Compatible with approved V.A.C. Therapy unit
PREVENA™ Therapy helps manage and protect surgical incisions utilizing unique PEEL & PLACE™ or CUSTOMIZABLE™ Dressings by:
- Helping hold incision edges together
Removing fluids and infectious materials
Acting as a barrier to external contamination
Delivering continuous negative pressure (-125mmHg) for up to 7 days
The PREVENA™ Incision Management System is intended to manage the environment for surgical incisions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure by maintaining a closed environment and removing exudate via the application of negative pressure wound therapy.
For maximum benefit, the PREVENA™ Incision Management System should be applied immediately post surgery to clean surgically closed wounds. It is to be continuously applied for a minimum of 2 days up to a maximum of 7 days. It can transition home with the patient; however, all PREVENA™ Dressing changes should be performed under direct medical supervision.
