Next-generation of Incision and Soft Tissue Management
3M™ Prevena Restor™ Therapy is indicated to manage both the incision and surrounding soft tissue envelope. Built using the original 3M™ Prevena™ Therapy technology, Prevena Restor Therapy is precision designed with an expanded coverage area to minimise swelling which may facilitate ambulation. With up to 14 days of negative pressure therapy, Prevena Restor Therapy reduces the need for frequent dressing changes, enabling you to discharge with confidence.
-
Extended therapy time
Up to 14 days of therapy, with no additional dressing changes required.
-
Precision designed
Dressing seamlessly conforms to the patient and allows for articulation and ambulation.
-
Expanded coverage area
Larger dressing delivers therapy to the incision and surrounding soft tissue envelope while bolstering and stabilising the area.
-
Easy to apply
Simply peel and place the form-fitting dressing.
Putting your patients first in plastic surgery
-
Plastic surgery presents a unique set of challenges. As surgeons strive to achieve the best clinical outcomes, patients can also have expectations on aesthetic outcomes and experience a range of emotions about their surgery. Meeting the benchmarks of value-based care while catering to patient needs is more difficult than ever.
Introducing the Prevena Restor Bella·Form Incision Management System. Built using the same proven technology as Prevena Therapy, the Prevena Restor Bella·Form System is purposefully enhanced to promote active recovery, with extended wear time of up to 14 days, reducing oedema around the incision and surrounding soft tissue³, increasing tissue perfusion⁴, supporting improved wound healing⁴, and improving overall patient satisfaction.
As well as breast reconstruction, breast mastectomy, and plastic surgery, the Prevena Restor Bella·Form System is also suitable for a variety of other anatomical locations and procedures including general surgery, vascular surgery, amputations, orthopaedic surgery, skin grafts and more. -
Surgical Site Infection (SSI) in plastic surgery can give a suboptimal aesthetic outcome, but it can also impair psychosocial well-being, delay adjuvant therapies or hospital discharge.³
3M™ Prevena™ Therapy manages and helps protect surgical incisions by reducing oedema, removing fluids and infection materials, and decreasing lateral tension.⁴ In a comparative study, Prevena Therapy was demonstrated to reduce the incidence of SSIs and seromas versus conventional wound dressings.⁵

Protecting high risk patients in orthopaedic surgery
-
In orthopaedic surgery, postoperative complications can be costly.⁵ The global pandemic has resulted in a growing backlog of planned surgery with many patients struggling with chronic pain, restricted mobility, and decreased quality of life due to delayed surgery.⁶ Managing postoperative complications following orthopaedic surgery has never been more relevant.
Applying negative pressure to the incision and surrounding soft tissue can support early ambulation by reducing oedema, which can also cut total hospitalisation costs and lead to better restoration of range of motion.⁷ Studies have shown that Prevena Therapy may help prevent issues that impede recovery, including fewer reoperations⁸, fewer surgical site complications⁹, fewer infections¹⁰ and fewer dressing changes⁹ compared with standard of care. -
Surgical site complications (SSCs) are a major source of morbidity after hip and knee arthroplasty procedures and revision surgery is associated with a 3x greater risk compared with primary procedures.¹
Supported by over 180 peer reviewed publications, 3M™ Prevena™ Therapy is scientifically proven to help protect incisions from postoperative complications. Explore the evidence for the original Prevena Therapy in this clinical evidence summary for Orthopaedic Surgery.
