Please note: All prices are for cases.

The Mölnlycke® Avance® Solo Closed Incision System (SKU 8881030) is a single-patient use, portable negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) solution specifically engineered for the management of long-form closed surgical incisions. This system utilizes Controlled Fluid Management (CFM) Technology to maintain a continuous, regulated negative pressure of -125 mmHg at the incision site for up to 14 days. The 10 cm x 30 cm dressing format is designed to provide extensive coverage for elongated surgical sites, combining an absorbent multilayer interface with a distal 50 mL canister to transport excess exudate away from the healing tissue, thereby reducing the risk of maceration and promoting incision apposition.

Key Features

• Controlled Fluid Management (CFM) Technology: A proprietary airflow and pressure regulation system that ensures the pump delivers a consistent -125 mmHg vacuum across the entire length of the 30 cm dressing, even in the presence of fluid.
• 14-Day Operational Lifespan: The battery-powered therapy unit is programmed to provide continuous negative pressure for up to 336 hours (14 days), supporting the critical initial phase of post-operative healing.
• Safetac® Soft Silicone Interface: The dressing features a Safetac contact layer that adheres gently to the periwound skin, allowing for repositioning during application and significantly reducing pain and skin stripping during dressing removal.
• Extended Dressing Dimensions: The 30 cm length is specifically tailored for long linear incisions, providing a unified sterile barrier and negative pressure environment without the need for overlapping multiple smaller dressings.
• Dual-Action Fluid Handling: Utilizes a highly breathable outer film to facilitate moisture vapor transmission while simultaneously diverting liquid exudate into the distal 50 mL canister to prevent dressing saturation.
• Integrated Alarm System: Features visual and audible indicators for common therapy interruptions, including Leakage, Blockage, and Low Battery, ensuring the integrity of the vacuum seal is maintained throughout the 14-day cycle.
• Patient Portability: The lightweight, pocket-sized pump design and discreet distal canister allow patients to maintain mobility and perform activities of daily living while receiving continuous therapy.

Ideal Clinical Applications

• Large-Joint Orthopedic Surgery: Management of long linear incisions following total hip arthroplasty or complex knee revisions where extensive stabilization is required.
• Vascular and Plastic Surgery: Management of long donor sites, flap donor areas, and extensive reconstructive incisions where fluid removal and edge protection are critical.
• High-Risk Surgical Patients: Specifically indicated for patients with comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity, or advanced age, who are at a higher statistical risk for surgical site infections (SSIs) and wound dehiscence.
• Abdominal Surgery: Suitable for long midline laparotomy incisions, providing a secure environment to manage post-operative drainage and reduce lateral tension.

• Cardiothoracic Surgery: Protection and stabilization of sternotomy incisions to aid in the reduction of surgical site complications and seroma formation.

• Spinal Surgery: Ideal for covering long posterior spinal fusion incisions, providing a sterile barrier and reducing tension across the suture line.

Manufacturer Precautions

A complete list of manufacturer precautions can be found here. 

Important Safety Information

Before starting therapy, evaluate the patient’s nutritional status and address severe malnutrition.

Signs of possible infection or complications must be addressed immediately. Monitor the device, wound, surrounding skin, and patient status accordingly to ensure effective and safe treatment and patient comfort.

For patients with ischemic condition or at application of a circumferential dressing, extra monitoring of wound status is required to avoid risk of compromised circulation.

Avance® Solo Pump is equipped with visual and audible notifications and alarms. Ensure that carrying or placement of the pump allows the user to detect audible and visual notifications and alarms.

When the Avance® Solo Pump battery low alarm is triggered, replace the batteries in the pump. Only use the type and model of lithium batteries specified for this product by Mölnlycke® Health Care.

Fixation strips provided with the dressing must only be applied on dressing borders. Do not apply fixative strips, or other occlusive dressings, across the dressing wound pad, due to the risk of low breathability leading to maceration.

Application of certain skin protection products or using cleansing products prior to the application of the dressing may affect the ability of the dressing and fixative strips to adhere securely and create sufficient sealing.

Do not use the products on patients and/or users with known hypersensitivity to the products' ingoing materials/components.

Ingrowth of tissue may occur if the dressing or wound filler is not changed according to recommendations or as appropriate for the individual patient's wound condition.

Consider use of a non-adherent wound contact layer (Mepitel) to protect fragile tissue.

Do not place the pump with canister in water or other liquids. Disconnect the pump and canister if the ingress of water is observed.

For daily hygiene routines, do not expose the pump with canister or dressing to extensive contact with water.

Avance® Solo Border Dressing should only be applied and changed by healthcare professionals.

No modification of this device (pump, canister, tubes, dressing) is allowed as modifications may significantly compromise the system's ability to deliver therapy. Products in the Avance® Solo NPWT System should not be used with products from other NPWT systems.

Do not cut the tube or detach it from the canister. Do not cut the dressing. Do not disassemble the pump. 

Avance® Solo Pump is not intended for use aboard aircraft. Remove the batteries during air travel.

Avance® Solo NPWT System products are provided sterile. Do not use if the sterile barrier is damaged or has been opened prior to use. Do not resterilize.

Do not reuse Avance® Solo NPWT System products. If reused, the product's performance may deteriorate, and cross contamination may occur.

For CT scans and x-ray investigations, keep the pump out of the x-ray or scanner range. In the event that the pump is within a CT-scan or x-ray range, be sure to check that the pump functions correctly after the procedure. The potential for electromagnetic interference in all environments cannot be eliminated. Use caution if the pump is near electronic equipment such as anti-theft equipment or metal detectors and ensure proper function.

Warnings

Application of NPWT may increase the risk of bleeding. If sudden or increased bleeding is observed, immediately take appropriate action to stop bleeding and seek emergency medical attention.

Patients at high risk of bleeding, such as those receiving anticoagulant therapy or with altered hemostasis, must be monitored closely during therapy. Be sure to establish hemostasis before applying therapy.

Patients at risk of bleeding complications due to a history of vascular anastomosis or friable, irradiated, sutured or infected blood vessels, for example, should be monitored carefully during therapy.

Patients undergoing NPWT need frequent supervision. Routinely check that the negative pressure therapy is active, the dressing should be contracted and firm to the touch. If it is necessary to discontinue therapy, the time elapsed without negative pressure must comply with instructions from a healthcare professional.

Be sure that the pump, dressing and canister tubes, quick connectors and transfer port are positioned to eliminate the risk of - imprints - contamination - entrapment or strangulation - kinking or blocking of tubes - exposure to heat sources.

Cover or remove sharp edges or bones in the wound prior to the application of the dressing due to the risk of puncturing organs and blood vessels.

If defibrillation is required, disconnect the pump and remove the dressing if its positioning interferes.

Avance® Solo Pump is magnetic resonance (MR) unsafe, do not take into a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) environment. Avance® Solo Border Dressings and Avance Solo Foam are MR safe. The impact of the dressing and foam on magnetic resonance tomography (MRT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) artifacts is unknown.

Avance® Solo Pump must not be used in oxygen rich environments where there is a danger of explosion, e.g., a hyperbaric oxygen unit or in therapy/investigations involving microwaves. For the dressing, static electricity may be created when removing the release liner from the strips, so Consider if the dressing needs to be removed for safety reasons.

Avance® Solo Pump is not suitable for use in the presence of flammable anesthetics.

Spinal Cord Injury: If the patient experiences autonomic dysreflexia (sudden elevation in blood pressure or heart rate in response to stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system), immediately stop the therapy to help minimize sensory stimulation and seek emergency medical attention.
