Convenient. Curated. Connected. Training for the use of 3M™ Prevena™ Therapy in plastic surgery.
In a prospective, single-center, randomised controlled trial with patients undergoing breast reconstruction, Prevena Therapy aided in:
90-day post-operatively
8.5% (28/331) Prevena Therapy vs.
15.9% (53/334) SOC (p=0.0092)*
90-day post-operatively
2.1% (7/331) Prevena Therapy vs.
4.5% (15/334) SOC (p=0.00225)*
90-day post-operatively
1.8% (6/331) Prevena Therapy vs. 5.7% (19/334) SOC
(p=0.0106)*
Calculations are derived based on relative patient group incidence rate reported in this study.
*Statistically significant (p<0.05).

The Prevena Incision Management System is intended to manage the environment of closed surgical incisions and surrounding intact skin in patients at risk for developing post-operative complications, such as infection, by maintaining a closed environment via the application of a negative pressure wound therapy system to the incision. The Prevena Incision Dressing skin interface layer with silver reduces microbial colonization in the fabric.
The effectiveness of Prevena Therapy in reducing the incidence of SSIs and seroma in all surgical procedures and populations has not been demonstrated.
