Description

The Avance Solo Border Dressing by Molnlycke is an innovative solution designed to enhance wound care management. This single-use, absorptive, multilayer dressing is specifically crafted for use with the Avance Solo Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system, making it ideal for complex and slow-to-heal wounds, including closed surgical incisions and chronic wounds.

Key Features

• Conformability: The dressing conforms seamlessly to body contours, providing a secure fit even in challenging areas such as knees. It is available in various shapes and sizes to accommodate different wound needs.

• Absorptive Multilayer Design: Continues to manage exudate effectively, even if negative pressure is compromised, ensuring fluid retention within the dressing.

• Safetac Technology: Features a soft silicone wound contact layer that minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes. This allows for easy lifting and readjustment, enhancing patient comfort.

• Waterproof and Breathable Backing: Offers protection against bacterial and viral contamination while being shower-proof, though it should not be submerged or exposed to direct water jets.

Advanced Integration

• Transfer Port and Tubing: Equipped with a transfer port and tubing to channel excess wound exudate to the system’s canister, maintaining a clean wound environment.

• Fixation Strips: Included to ensure an airtight seal, crucial for maintaining negative pressure. The dressing contracts and becomes firm to the touch when negative pressure is active.

• Visual and Audible Alarms: The system provides alarms for leakage, blockage, and low battery, ensuring continuous therapy and effective wound management.

Clinical Benefits

• Controlled Fluid Management (CFM) Technology: Balances fluid absorption between the dressing and a 50ml canister, reducing saturation risk and decreasing the frequency of dressing changes.

• Indications for Use: Suitable for a wide range of wounds, including acute, traumatic, sub-acute, dehisced wounds, grafts, and various ulcers. It effectively manages wounds with low to medium exudation.

Clinical Aims

• Tensile Stress Reduction: Aims to reduce tensile stresses at incision sites and eliminate dead space to prevent haematoma and seroma formation.

• Oedema Reduction: Enhances perfusion and fluid clearance, optimizes wound healing, and promotes granulation tissue formation by removing exudate and fluid.

Compatibility and Usage

• Compatible Components: Works seamlessly with the Avance Solo pump, canister, tubing, and Avance Solo Foam for cavity wounds.

• Available Sizes: Ranges from 10 x 20 cm to 25 x 25 cm, with packs containing two dressings.

• Usage Guidelines: Regular checks for proper seal and function are recommended. The dressing should not be changed by the patient and is intended for professional use in hospital, clinical, or supervised home care settings.

The Avance Solo Border Dressing is a comprehensive wound care solution, designed to optimize healing outcomes while minimizing discomfort, making it a valuable asset in advanced wound management.
