3M Prevena Peel and Place Incision Dressing Kit
An incision dressing designed for easy application on linear incisions up to 35 centimetres long, delivering continuous negative pressure therapy.
The 3M Prevena Peel and Place Dressing Kit is a postoperative incision dressing designed for straightforward application onto linear surgical incisions up to 35 centimetres in length. When connected to a compatible negative pressure wound therapy unit, it delivers continuous negative 125 millimetres of mercury pressure over the closed incision, which is intended to help optimise the healing environment at the surgical site across various anatomical locations.
The peel and place design is meant to simplify what can otherwise be a fiddly application process for incisional dressings, letting the surgical or postoperative nursing team position the dressing accurately along the length of the incision with minimal handling. This kind of incisional negative pressure therapy is generally reserved for patients considered at improved risk of surgical site complications, such as infection or dehiscence, rather than applied to every closed incision as standard practice.
The kit is supplied under two catalog numbers, likely reflecting different dressing widths or pack configurations, and requires a compatible Prevena therapy unit to function.
