Dressing Technique

Consult the appropriate Invia Wound Dressing or Avance
for information regarding dressing applications. Perform a thorough wound cleansing per
physician orders prior to dressing applications.
Routine dressing changes should occur every 48 – 72 hours. Dressing changes for infected
wounds should be considered more frequently.
Dressing change
Dressings (wound contact layer, wound filler, wound cover, drain, External Suction
Interface (ESI) ) should be changed every 48 to 72 hours, but no less than 3 times a
week, or as instructed by the healthcare professional.
When treating infected wounds or wounds more susceptible to tissue in-growth into wound
filler material, more frequent dressing changes may be needed. The frequency of dressing
changes should be based on an evaluation of the wound characteristics rather than standard
recommendations.
Important things to remember:
– Routinely check that the pump is on, negative pressure level and therapy mode is
set as prescribed by physician.
– Monitor dressing periodically for leaks.
