• Increases efficiency with improved handleability; it easily detaches from gloves and itself
• It helps take the pain out of dressing changes
• Helps provide protection for sensitive peri-wound

The first hybrid 3M™ V.A.C.® Therapy drape to combine silicone and acrylic adhesives proven to improve handling, placement, and patient comfort while providing peri-wound support.

3M™ V.A.C. ® Therapy patients will feel more comfortable during their wound healing process. 3M™ Dermatac™ Drape utilizes a low-tack adhesive technology that supports reaches across the care team: from physician to nurse to patient.
