Bridge Application With The V.a.c. Veraflo™ Dressing System - Acelity V.A.C.ULTA Mode D'emploi

BRIDGE APPLICATION WITH THE V.A.C. VERAFLO™ DRESSING SYSTEM
Bridge application should be used 1) to prevent periwound maceration with wounds that are smaller
than the central disc of the pad(s) or 2) when there is a need to place the pad(s) away from the wound
site to prevent pressure on or around the wound�
CAUTION: Patient' s skin condition should be carefully monitored (refer to Precautions, Protect Periwound
Skin section).
CAUTION: In a vertical bridge placement created for moderately to highly exudating wounds, the negative
pressure received at the wound site could be reduced by approximately 25mmHg for every foot (30.5 cm) of the
bridge. Consider increasing the target negative pressure setting accordingly.
