The Prevena™ Incision Management System is intended to manage the environment of surgical incisions that continue to drain following sutured or stapled closure by maintaining a closed environment and removing exudate via the application of negative pressure wound therapy.

The Prevena™ Incision Management System is designed to create an environment that helps to promote healing by:

  • Removing exudate and potentially infectious material
  • Helping to hold the edges of the incision together
  • Protecting the surgical site from external infectious sources
