About the product
Ideal for tunneling wounds, undermining wounds and situations where hyper-granulation is likely to occur. Our 3M™ V.A.C.® Whitefoam Dressing offers a versatile polyvinyl solution to help bolster split thickness skin grafts. We designed our disposable, single-use, sterile packaged dressing for use with 3M™ V.A.C.® Therapy Units and the 3M™ Prevena™ Plus 125 Therapy Unit.
Product details
Enhance your wound management with the 3M™ V.A.C.® Whitefoam Dressing. Featuring a dense, open-cell white polyvinyl alcohol foam with a higher tensile strength than our 3M™ V.A.C.® Granufoam Dressing, our 3M™ V.A.C.® Whitefoam Dressing requires a minimum pressure setting of -125mmHg for tunneling and undermining wounds. Designed to minimize patient discomfort, you can apply this dressing over full thickness skin grafts (FTSG) or in hyper-granulation-prone situations. As a moisture-retaining dressing that’s packaged and pre-moistened with sterile water, it also helps reduce the likelihood of adherence to the wound base. For optimal pressure distribution, we recommend using a V.A.C. Granufoam® Dressing over the 3M™ V.A.C.® Whitefoam Dressing.
Only V.A.C.® Therapy provides:
The 3M™ V.A.C.® Granufoam Dressing, the 3M™ V.A.C.® Whitefoam Dressing, the 3M™ SensaT.R.A.C.™ Pad and tubing contain no metallic components that would require removal prior to MRI.
Higher tensile strength makes it easy to place and remove from tunnels and undermining Increased density for restricted in-growth of granulation tissue for a more comfortable dressing change
- Ideal for tunneling and undermined wounds due to its higher tensile strength.
- Less adherent than standard V.A.C.® Dressings.
- Pre-moistened with sterile water.
- Hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol foam.
- Available in small and large dressing sizes as foam only or part of a 3M™ V.A.C.® Whitefoam™ Dressing Kit (includes dressing and 3M™ SensaT.R.A.C.™ Pad Tubing).
- Recommended in situations where hyper-granulation responses are likely.
- Comfortable and versatile wound dressing helps bolster flaps and may be used over skin grafts.
- Requires higher pressure from -125 mmHg to -175 mmHg to provide adequate negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) distribution.
Suggested Applications
- Painful wounds.
- Superficial wounds.
- Tunneling/sinus tracts/undermining.
- Wounds that require controlled growth of granulation tissue.
- Deep trauma wounds.
- Diabetic foot ulcers.
- Dry wounds.
- Skin-graft placement (including dermal substitutes).
- Venous Insufficiency Ulcers.
