The scientifically proven power of 3M™ Prevena™ Therapy

SEE THE NEWEST EVIDENCE (PDF, 194 KB)

New data from a randomized controlled trial with at-risk patients further affrms that Prevena Therapy significantly reduces the risk of 90-day surgical site complications (SSCs) and readmissions, when compared with the current standard of care (SOC). In fact, the evidence supporting the efficacy of Prevena Therapy was so strong that the study was terminated before its planned completion.¹

*3M™ Prevena™ 125 and 3M™ Prevena™ Plus 125 Therapy Units manage the environment of closed surgical incisions and remove fluid away from the surgical incision via the application of -125mmHg continuous negative pressure. When used with legally marketed compatible dressings, Prevena 125 and Prevena Plus 125 Therapy Units are intended to aid in reducing the incidence of seroma and, in patients at risk for post-operative infections, aid in reducing the incidence of superficial surgical site infection in Class I and II wounds.
