Avelle™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System

Avelle™ NPWT System

U1402098: avelle.png

Combined with 8-layered Hydrofiber® Technology, the Avelle™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System has proven benefits of NPWT & maintaining a optimal environment for wound healing.10

The Power of Two: Hydrofiber® Technology + Negative Pressure Wound Therapy

Hydrofiber® Technology

  • Locks in wound exudate and traps bacteria1-3 to help protect peri-wound skin and reduce maceration.4-5*
  • Micro-contours to the wound bed, minimizing dead space where bacteria can grow.6*
  • Balances wound fluid levels through gelling to maintain a moist wound healing environment.7*

  • Reduction in tissue edema
  • Wound contraction via applied strain
  • Increased perfusion
  • Stimulation of angiogenesis
  • Formation of granulation tissue

Patients can disconnect the
pump and shower with the
dressing in place whilst
maintaining NPWT
for up to 1 hour.*

dressing to prevent exudate
from soiling clothing.

 

 

The interactive Avelle™ NPWT Dressing

The Hydrofiber® Difference

The Hydrofiber® Technology interface and inner layers within the Avelle™ NPWT Dressing are specially engineered into an apertured design to allow negative pressure transmission through to the wound.*

1. Perforated silicone adhesive borders
Specifically designed to secure the dressing in place while being gentle to the skin during removal.

2. Hydrofiber® Technology wound contact layer
Stitch-bonded Hydrofiber® wound contact layer gels on contact with wound fluid and is designed to maintain integrity on removal.11

3. Hydrofiber® Technology (8 layers)
Gel on contact with wound fluid and locks in bacteria within it.11,12* Fenestrations in the Hydrofiber® Technology layers are designed to promote vertical fluid movement throughout the dressing.

4. Foam layer
 Aids distribution of negative pressure across the dressing and to the wound bed.

5. Soft port
Designed to minimize the risk of pressure damage.

6. Film layer
The backing film permits evaporation of exudate, aiding overall fluid handling while providing a bacterial, viral and showerproof barrier.11
