3M™ Veraflo™ Therapy
Discover how negative pressure wound therapy with instillation can promote healing for complex wounds.

-
40% of wounds are infected or critically colonised¹.
-
Hard-to-heal wounds can result in pain, morbidity, prolonged treatment and in some cases major reconstructive surgery².
-
Chronic wounds are associated with reduced quality of life, mobility and mental wellbeing for both patients and caregivers³.
