Cutting-Edge Wound Care

What is Prevena Therapy in Plastic Surgery?

Prevena Therapy is a sophisticated wound care system that utilizes negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) specifically for managing and protecting surgical incisions. Developed by 3M, this technology reduces swelling, removes infectious materials, and accelerates healing by consistently applying negative pressure to the incision area. This method supports the body’s natural healing mechanisms and enhances recovery following surgical procedures.
