V.A.C.ULTA™ Therapy Unit. Instillation into the incision site may result in pooling of fluid
which may result in maceration.

DRESSING APPLICATION FOR LINEAR INCISIONS

CAUTION: If the dressing covers the umbilicus, the umbilicus must first be fully filled with an
anti-microbial petroleum gauze prior to dressing application.
1. Open the sterile dressing package, remove and unfold foam dressing using aseptic
technique. Do not use if package has been torn or the sterile seal has been compromised.
2. Use the enclosed ruler to measure incision before cutting.
3. Cut foam dressing to the length necessary to cover the incision.
CAUTION: Do not cut the foam over the wound, as fragments may fall into the wound.
Away from wound site, rub foam edges to remove any fragments or loose particles that
may fall into or be left in the wound upon dressing removal.
