Description

The Avance Solo Border Dressing by Molnlycke is an innovative solution designed to enhance wound care management. As a single-use, absorptive, multilayer dressing, it integrates seamlessly with the Avance Solo portable, battery-powered negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) system. This dressing is specifically crafted for use on closed surgical incisions and various open or chronic wounds, including those that are complex and slow to heal.

Key Features

• Advanced Absorption: The dressing's multilayer design ensures continuous absorption of exudate, even if negative pressure is lost, effectively retaining fluid within the dressing.
• Safetac® Technology: Equipped with a soft silicone wound contact layer, this technology minimizes pain and trauma during dressing changes. It allows for easy lifting and readjustment, providing flexibility during application.
• Waterproof and Breathable: The dressing includes a waterproof film that protects against bacterial and viral contamination while maintaining breathability.
• Conformability: Designed to conform to body contours, it offers secure placement and comfort in hard-to-dress areas such as knees.

Additional Benefits

• Airtight Seal: Fixation strips ensure a tight seal to the skin, while a transfer port with tubing manages excess exudate.
• Shower-Proof Design: The dressing is shower-proof, though it should not be submerged or exposed to direct water jets.
• Continuous Negative Pressure: When used with the Avance Solo pump, it delivers regulated negative pressure at -125mmHg, enhancing wound management.
• Controlled Fluid Management: Shares fluid absorption with a 50ml canister, reducing saturation risk and the need for frequent dressing changes.
