Incision care

Advanced care for high-risk incisions

Incisional NPWT with Avance® Solo

Since its commercial introduction, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has transformed the management of open wounds.1 It has also revolutionised incision care, proving that it offers clinical benefits, from reducing the incidence of surgical site infections,2–7 dehiscence5–7 and oedema1,4 to improving blood flow8,9 and healing.10 The clinically effective range of NPWT lies between –40 and –150 mmHg.11 In a model comparing how well different NPWT systems can reduce peri-wound tension while operating at either –80 or –125 mmHg, –125 mmHg was found to be the most effective.12
