Fight pressure with pressure
Avance® Solo Adapt is indicated for use on pressure ulcers, where it is desirable/necessary to be able to customise the dressing to fit to contoured anatomy in order to achieve a seal.
Parts and features of the system
1. Controlled Fluid Management (CFM) technology
Controlled Fluid Management (CFM) technology is a combination of controlled air flow, absorptive dressing and distal canister, enabling the Avance Solo NPWT system to deliver continuous regulated negative pressure 1 2 3 .
2. Pump
Regulates pressure to deliver a continuous -125mmHg negative pressure 4 . Regular cycling of the pump ensures that fluid is constantly transported to the canister and that the vacuum is maintaned at target levels 4 5 6 .
3. 50 ml canister
Excess fluid is transferred to the canister, reducing potential for the dressing becoming fully saturated 2 . The canister may be replaced by clinician, lay carer or the patient themselves 7 8 .
4. Safety
Visual signals and audible alarms for leakage, blockage and low battery help to ensure that loss of therapy or system issues are promptly addressed to enable therapy to continue 7 8 4 9 .
5. Safetac Technology
Avance Solo Border dressings Safetac® adhesive has been proven to minimise trauma to wound site and surrounding skin upon dressing removal 10 11 12 13 , and to minimise pain to the patient during dressing removal 14 15 .
6. Avance Solo Adapt Film and Foam
A conformable film that produces an effective seal for negative pressure therapy 8 2 , as well as a 3 cm foam that can be cut to the shape of the wound and fill the wound cavity. Can be used in conjunction with Mepitel® wound contact layer, to avoid potential for foam to stick to tissue.
