Prevena Peel and Place Dressing
Negative pressure wound therapy Solventum (KCI Medical)

Prevena Peel and Place Dressing

The dressing is designed to manage incisions ≤20cm long, and should not be altered to fit curving incisions. A polyester fabric interface layer, with 0.019% ionic silver, wicks fluid from the skin surface. The silver is designed to reduce bacterial colonisation within the fabric, and not to treat infection.

Indications

Designed to manage the environment of closed surgical incisions and surrounding intact skin in patients at risk of postoperative complications, such as infection. This is achieved by application of negative pressure wound therapy to the incision, which maintains a closed environment.

Contraindications

Malignant wounds; untreated osteomyelitis; non-enteric and unexplored fistulae; necrotic tissue with eschar present; direct placement of the VAC dressing over exposed vital structures.

Price

  • Each kit contains: 5 × Prevena Peel and Place dressings 20cm or 13cm, Prevena patch strips, Prevena VAC connector, not on Drug Tariff
