3M Prevena Incision Management System

The Prevena Incision Management System is designed to proactively manage the environment of closed surgical incisions in patients at risk for developing post-operative complications, such as infection. This closed-incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) system provides:

In today's healthcare landscape, where complex surgeries and patient comorbidities are prevalent, effective postoperative care is crucial to reduce extended hospital stays, readmissions and to improve overall patient outcomes. The Prevena Incision Management System is designed to proactively manage the environment of closed surgical incisions, such as superficial surgical site infections in Class I and Class II wounds* in patients at high risk for postoperative infections and incidence of seroma by maintaining a sealed environment with negative pressure therapy. This closed-incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) system provides:

  • Protection: Prevena dressings create a barrier against external contamination 
  • Negative pressure: Delivers continuous -125mmHg negative pressure therapy for up to 14 days
  • Incision support: Aids in keeping incision edges together, reducing lateral tension 
  • Fluid management: Removes fluids and infectious materials, helping to reduce edema

The Prevena Restor Incision Management System advances original Prevena Therapy expanding NPWT coverage over closed incisions and the surrounding soft tissue to help postoperative recovery. The system introduces new features to improve patient care including:  

  • Expanded coverage: Larger dressing coverage area for the incision and adjacent soft tissue, protecting and bolstering the surgical site and optimising the healing environment  
  • Extended Therapy: The 3M™ Prevena™ Plus Therapy Unit provides 14 days of continuous NPWT
  • Precision design: The dressing adapts to the patient’s body, allowing movement  
  • Versatile application: Intuitive, easy-to-use peel-and-place and flexible, user-customisable dressings available
