Prevena Therapy is designed to help protect the surgical incision and reduce the risk of surgical site complications to improve patient outcomes across multiple surgical specialties.1-11 This can also help to reduce the burden on healthcare facilities through reduced reoperations 2,5,8 and associated additional costs of treatment.10,11
The UK’s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has issued a Medical Innovation Briefing advising on Prevena Therapy for closed surgical incisions.

The scientifically proven power of 3M™ Prevena™ Therapy
New data from the PROMISES randomised controlled trial affirmed that Prevena Therapy significantly reduced the risk of 90-day surgical site complications (SSCs) and readmissions, when compared with the current standard of care (SOC). In fact, the evidence supporting the efficacy of Prevena Therapy was so strong that the study was terminated before its planned completion.12

Postoperative complications can be costly.5 The global pandemic has resulted in growing backlog of planned surgery with many patients struggling with chronic pain, restricted mobility, and decreased quality of life due to delayed surgery6. Managing postoperative complications following surgery has never been more relevant. Prevena Therapy is supported by more than 200 studies, with more being published every year.
