Description

The AVANCE SOLO BORDER is an innovative solution in the realm of wound care management, designed by Mölnlycke Health Care AB. This portable, single-patient-use system offers Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) to enhance healing for a variety of wound types, making it suitable for both clinical and home care environments.

Key Features

• Portable and Lightweight: The Avance Solo Pump is a compact, battery-operated device that delivers continuous negative pressure, nominally set at -125 mmHg, for up to 14 days. Weighing less than 130g, it ensures ease of mobility for patients.

• Effective Exudate Management: Equipped with a 50 ml canister, the system efficiently collects wound exudate, reducing dressing saturation and the need for frequent changes. The canister is easily replaceable by clinicians, caregivers, or patients.

• Advanced Dressing Technology: The Border Dressing features a multilayer absorptive design with waterproof backing, conforming to body contours while protecting against bacterial and viral contamination. The Safetac® Technology wound contact layer provides a gentle silicone adhesive that minimizes pain during dressing changes and allows for repositioning.

Core Technologies

• Controlled Fluid Management (CFM) Technology™: This feature ensures consistent negative pressure delivery and efficient exudate removal, enhancing the healing environment.

• Visual and Audible Alarms: The system includes alerts for leakage, blockage, low battery, and internal failure, ensuring reliable operation.

• Waterproof Design: While not suitable for submersion, the dressing's waterproof backing allows for showering, providing convenience without compromising protection.

Indications and Compatibility

The AVANCE SOLO BORDER is indicated for use with closed surgical incisions and open wounds, including those with low to moderate exudation. It is compatible with a wide range of surgical and wound types, such as orthopedic, cardiothoracic, and plastic surgeries, as well as chronic wounds like ulcers and grafts.

Product Configurations

Available in various dressing sizes, the system offers flexibility to meet different wound care needs. Dressings are available in sizes ranging from 10x20 cm to 25x25 cm, with each pack containing two dressings. Sets can include the pump, canister, and optional foam wound fillers, with components also available separately.

Safety and Comfort

The materials used in the AVANCE SOLO BORDER are designed to be non-allergenic, non-cytotoxic, and non-irritating, ensuring patient safety and comfort. The system's silicone adhesive reduces the risk of skin trauma, while the breathable, waterproof dressing construction protects the wound environment.

Storage Conditions

For optimal performance, the system should be stored at temperatures between 5°C and 25°C, with humidity levels of 10% to 75%. It is designed to withstand atmospheric pressures from 700 to 1060 hPa, with an ingress protection rating of IP22.
