DRAPE APPLICATION

CAUTION: Do not cover the umbilicus with drape. Before or after placement, ensure a small
hole is cut in the drape in relation to the umbilicus.
Multiple pieces of drape may be needed when using PREVENA PLUS™ CUSTOMIZABLE™
Dressings depending on incision size. Drapes should always overlap each other by at least
1.2 in (3 cm). All dressing liners must be removed before any drape is used.
1. Trim KCI Drape as necessary. Ensure a minimum overlap of 1.2 in
(3 cm) when using multiple pieces of KCI Drape. There is no drape
under the blue handling bars.
2. Carefully remove the middle section of layer 1 from KCI Drape to
expose adhesive. Leave the two end sections of layer 1 intact to
maintain drape stability during application. The KCI Drape should
be held by the blue handling bars.
3. With adhesive side down, apply KCI Drape over foam and onto intact
skin. Ensure KCI Drape covers a minimum of 1.2 in (3 cm) of intact
periwound skin.
4. Lift the drape at both ends and remove the two remaining end
sections of layer 1. Smooth out any wrinkles in the KCI Drape.
CAUTION: Do not press blue handling bars down onto the
sealing material.
5. Carefully remove striped layer 2 from KCI Drape.
