Interventions
Prevena™ IMS is intended for the management of the surgical incision environment and surrounding healthy skin in patients with a risk of postoperative complications such as infections. This entails the maintenance of a closed environment around the incision by applying a negative pressure wound therapy system. The corresponding dressing is known under the name Prevena™ Dressing. The layer closest to the skin comprises silver foil, which reduces the microbial colonisation of cells.
