The 3M Prevena Peel & Place dressing is an integrated one-piece dressing designed to help to hold incision edges together, reduces edema, removing fluids and infectious material into a replaceable canister. The dressing acts as a barrier to external contamination and delivers continuous negative pressure at -125 mmHg up to 7 days to the incision site. The 3M Prevena Peel & Place dressing manages the environment of closed surgical incisions and remove fluid away from the surgical incision via the application of 125 mmHg continuous negative pressure. When used with legally marketed compatible dressings, 3M Prevena 125 and 3M Prevena Plus 125 therapy units are intended to aid in reducing the incidence of seroma and, in patients at high risk for post-operative infections, aid in reducing the incidence of superficial surgical site infection in Class I and Class II wounds. More than 70+ published clinical studies in a variety of surgical incisions and patient populations have demonstrated that the 3M Prevena incision management system is associated with positive clinical outcomes compared to standard postoperative dressings.
