Clinical Applications
-
Avance Solo is suitable for use on closed surgical incisions (ciNPT) and chronic wound indications (dNPWT). Learn more about the respective clinical applications below.
Avance Solo - Delivering optimized therapy, prioritizing post op security. The clinical aims of ciNPT include:
-
1. Reducing tensile stresses at the incision site, which reduces the risk for contamination and dehiscence.1
-
2. Reducing/eliminating dead-space within the incision – preventing formation of hematoma and seroma that may delay healing and contribute to complications such as SSIs. 1
-
3. Reduce edema and improve perfusion – enhancing clearance of fluid to the lymphatic system reducing compression of microvasculature at the incision site. 1

When to use ciNPT in incisional care?
-
At Mölnlycke, we work with incisional care and have a portfolio of solutions for incisional therapy. Choosing the right therapy option should be based on a risk assessment, where negative pressure therapy is recommended for elavated and high risk patients.
Avance Solo – The closure your patients have been looking for. The clinical aims of dNPWT include:
-
1. Removal of exudate and fluid – dNPWT can be a valuable adjunct to supporting healing in complex and slow to heal wounds. 2
-
2. Optimize wound healing – improving wound bed preparation that supports healing. 2
-
3. Granulation tissue formation – increase microvascular blood supply and promote formation of granulation tissue. 2
Wounds where dNPWT is used
-
- Acute wounds
- Traumatic wounds
- Sub-acute wounds
- Dehisced wounds
- Grafts
