At 3M, we continue to develop new technologies and therapies designed to make wound healing manageable for you as caregivers and more comfortable for patients around the world.
3M™ V.A.C.® Therapy has been shown to be a successful way to manage wounds for the past 25 years.¹ It has been shown to reduce hospitalization time and the risk of complications¹,², which in turn helps facilitate patient transitions from inpatient to outpatient care settings.
Veraflo Therapy combines the benefits of NPWT with automated instillation and dwell of topical wound solution to provide simultaneous cleansing and granulation tissue formation.
3M™ Prevena™ Incision Management System manages the environment of closed surgical incisions and removes fluid away from surgical incisions via the application of continuous negative pressure.
AbThera Therapy incorporates all the functional elements of an optimal temporary closure device to help protect abdominal contents from the external environment, allowing rapid access for re-entry, medial tension, and fluid removal.
Snap Therapy System is a discreet, mechanically powered, single-use system that preserves patient mobility and is ideal for low-to-moderate exudating wounds.
This integrated wound management system provides four separate and distinct negative pressure wound therapy options in the convenience of one device for use in an acute care facility.
This is the first-ever acrylic and silicone hybrid drape for use with V.A.C.® Therapy and Veraflo Therapy. The forgiving silicone intelligently contours to the patient's body and allows for drape repositioning upon initial placement, while the high-tack acrylic layer provides a tight seal.
