1. Trim the V.A.C.® Advanced Drape to cover the V.A.C.® GRANUFOAM™ Spiral Dressing and an
additional 3 - 5 cm border of intact periwound tissue (Fig. 6). The V.A.C.® Advanced Drape may be
cut into multiple pieces for easier handling. Excess V.A.C.® Advanced Drape may be kept to seal
difficult areas, if needed.
2. Carefully remove layer 1 to expose adhesive (Fig. 7). The V.A.C.® Advanced Drape should be held by
the ruler / handling bars.
3. Place the adhesive side down over foam and apply V.A.C.® Advanced Drape to cover foam and intact
skin, ensuring V.A.C.® Advanced Drape covers at least a 3 - 5 cm border of intact periwound tissue.
Smooth any wrinkles in drape to prevent leaks.
4. Remove layer 2 and handling bars and pat V.A.C.® Advanced Drape to ensure an occlusive seal (Fig.
