When 3M™ Dermatac™ Drape is used on open wounds, it is intended to create an environment that promotes wound healing. 3M™ Dermatac™ Drape is designed for use as a secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by preparing the wound bed for closure, reducing edema, promoting granulation tissue formation and perfusion and by removing exudate and infectious material. Open wound types include: chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute and dehisced wounds, partial-thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, pressure or venous insufficiency), flaps and grafts.

When used on closed surgical incisions, it 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 exudates via the application of negative pressure wound therapy.

- Do not place foam dressings of the V.A.C. Therapy System directly in contact with exposed blood vessels, anastomotic sites, organs or nerves.
Note: Refer to Warnings section of IFUs for additional information concerning bleeding or osteomyelitis.
- V.A.C. Therapy is contraindicated for patients with:
- Malignancy in the wound
- Untreated osteomyelitis
- Non-entric and unexplored fistulas
- Necrotic tissue with eschar present
NOTE: After debridement of necrotic tissue and complete removal of eschar, V.A.C. Therapy may be used.
