1. Assess wound dimensions and pathology, including the presence of undermining or tunnels
(Fig 2). The V.A.C. VeraFlo Cleanse™ Dressing System may be used with explored tunnels or
undermining where the distal aspect is not visible. Do not place any foam dressing into blind
/ unexplored tunnels.
NOTE: A non-adherent material can be used prior to foam dressing placement in order to
facilitate future dressing removal. If adjunct materials are utilized under the V.A.C. VeraFlo
Cleanse™ Dressing, they must be compatible with solution to be instilled and meshed,
porous or fenestrated to allow for effective fluid and exudate removal. Document on the
drape, on the supplied Foam Quantity Label (attached to the V.A.C. VeraT.R.A.C.™ Pad or,
if used, the V.A.C. VeraT.R.A.C. Duo™ Tube Set tubing) (Fig. 7) and in the patient's chart to
ensure removal with subsequent dressing changes.
