3M™ Veraflo™ Therapy
Discover how negative pressure wound therapy with instillation can promote healing for complex wounds.
Efficient wound healing matters – not only for your patients, but your standard of care. Delayed healing and complications can result in patient discomfort and significant care burdens, impacting clinical outcomes.
-
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.
Accelerate healing with a smarter way to manage wounds
Wounds may be susceptible to contamination or the development of bioburden – key contributors to complications like infection, inflammation, and delayed healing. 3M™ Veraflo™ Therapy combines vacuum assisted drainage with automated instillation of a topical wound solution to help reduce bioburden through repeated cleansing cycles.
How 3M™ Veraflo™ Therapy can help
-
CleanseTopical wound solutions are instilled in the wound to help dilute and solubilise infectious material⁴.
-
RemoveNegative pressure helps to remove solubilised wound debris and infectious materials, lowering bioburden⁵.
-
PromoteVeraflo Therapy promotes tissue formation and perfusion to prepare the wound for closure⁶.
See the difference 3M™ Veraflo™ Therapy can bring to your patients.
Improve clinical outcomes for various wound types, including:
-
Pressure Ulcers -
Diabetic Wounds -
