Prevena™ Incision Management System Site Preparation; Drain Tubes And Pain Management Control Devices - KCI Prevena Intrucciones De Uso

PREVENA™ INCISION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SITE PREPARATION
1. Prior to surgery, shave or clip the surgical area where the dressing will be applied to improve
dressing adhesion and seal integrity.
2. Gather all items needed for application:
•
sterile wound cleaning solution, e.g. water, saline or alcohol
•
sterile gauze or other material to clean application site
•
all components of the PREVENA™ Incision Management System (dressing and therapy unit)
3. After surgery, cleanse the application site with sterile gauze and sterile wound cleaning solution
using a circular motion beginning at the center of the surgical area and extending outward to
ensure that the site is free of foreign material.
4. Pat the application site dry with sterile gauze. To ensure proper adhesion, the application site
must be completely dry before dressing is applied.

DRAIN TUBES AND PAIN MANAGEMENT CONTROL DEVICES

The PREVENA™ Incision Management System can be used with both drain tubes and pain devices,
provided the dressing is not placed over tubing where it exits the skin. Surgical drains must be
routed under the skin beyond the boundary of the dressing and function independently of the
PREVENA™ Incision Management System.
NOTE: While the concomitant use of surgical drains is allowable with the PREVENA™ Incision
Management System, the system must not be used as an outlet or reservoir for the drain.
