The launch of Solventum's V.A.C.® Peel and Place Dressing represents a significant advancement in negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). This innovation addresses key challenges in wound care:
- Efficiency: Application time reduced by
61% , streamlining the treatment process. - Extended wear: Up to 7-day wear time, reducing the frequency of dressing changes.
- Cost-effectiveness: Potential
41% cost reduction at hospital bedside and67% fewer home nursing visits. - Patient comfort: Built-in non-adherent layer minimizes tissue ingrowth, making removal less painful.
The versatility of this dressing, suitable for various wound types up to 6cm deep, could expand the applicability of V.A.C.® Therapy. This product aligns with the growing demand for efficient wound care solutions, particularly important given the increasing prevalence of chronic wounds in aging populations.
The V.A.C.® Peel and Place Dressing presents compelling economic benefits for healthcare providers and payers:
- Reduced labor costs: Faster application time means more efficient use of healthcare professionals' time.
- Lower material costs: Extended wear time (up to 7 days) reduces the number of dressings needed per treatment course.
- Decreased home healthcare expenses:
67% reduction in home nursing visits could significantly lower post-acute care costs. - Potential for earlier discharges: Simplified application may enable more patients to transition to home care sooner.
These factors could lead to substantial cost savings across the healthcare system. However, the initial price point of the new dressing will be important in determining its overall economic impact. If priced competitively, this innovation could drive down the total cost of care for wound patients, benefiting both healthcare providers and insurers.
Solventum's new V.A.C.® Peel and Place Dressing is poised to make waves in the wound care market:
- Market expansion: By simplifying application, it could broaden the use of NPWT to less specialized care settings.
- Competitive advantage: The all-in-one design and extended wear time differentiate it from traditional NPWT dressings.
- Global growth potential: While currently available in the US and Canada, pending global approvals could significantly expand its market reach.
- Alignment with healthcare trends: The product addresses the growing need for efficient, cost-effective wound care solutions in aging populations.
However, market success will depend on factors such as pricing strategy, reimbursement policies and the company's ability to educate healthcare providers on its benefits. The product's performance in real-world settings, beyond the reported studies, will be important for long-term market acceptance and growth.
New V.A.C.® Peel and Place Dressing makes negative pressure wound therapy more accessible, less painful
Traditional dressings for negative pressure wound therapy typically take more than twice as long to apply, require a multi-step process of measuring and cutting separate foam and adhesive components, and may need to be changed three or more times a week.
The new V.A.C.® Peel and Place Dressing is the next evolution in V.A.C.® Therapy. It has an all-in-one dressing and drape design that simplifies application and reduces the time and training required for dressing application and changes. It also features a built-in perforated, non-adherent layer that reduces tissue ingrowth and makes dressing removal less painful.
"I'm impressed with how intuitive the V.A.C.® Peel and Place Dressing is to apply. My colleagues and staff can learn how to use the dressing without extensive or prolonged training," said Dr. Ralph J. Napolitano, Jr, DPM, CWSP, FACFAS, director of Wound Care and Healing at OrthoNeuro in
The V.A.C.® Peel and Place Dressing is indicated for wounds as deep as 6cm including chronic, acute, traumatic, subacute, and dehisced wounds, as well as partial thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, pressure or venous insufficiency), flaps, and grafts. Shown to reduce therapy application time by 61 percenti, the V.A.C.® Peel and Place Dressing can also reduce costs by 41 percent at the hospital bedside due to less frequent dressing changesiii and reduce the number of home nursing visits by 67 percent per weekiv*.
"Being able to quickly and safely apply the dressing to deeper and more varied types of wounds, and for it to stay in place for a longer period of time means a reduction in dressing changes, home care visits, and trips to the clinic," said Dot Weir, RN, CWON, CWS, a practicing wound and ostomy care nurse with over four decades of experience. "Because wound care often extends beyond a hospital stay, making the treatment less burdensome and less painful allows patients to get back to their lives more quickly and enables clinicians to ensure consistency of care throughout the healing journey."
V.A.C.® Therapy is associated with significantly shorter wound healing time.v It has been used worldwide for almost three decades to treat more than 10 million wounds, which are on the rise, largely driven by aging populations and the increased prevalence of chronic conditions like diabetes and obesity.vi The V.A.C.® Peel and Place Dressing enables V.A.C.® Therapy to be used on a wider range of patients across the continuum of care in both acute and post-acute settings.
"Solventum is committed to overcoming clinical challenges and improving access to care so that more patients may benefit from V.A.C.® Therapy, one of the most studied and effective advanced wound treatments available today," said Chris Barry, executive vice president and group president, Medical Surgical, Solventum. "We are proud to be a pioneering leader in wound care, and we will continue our legacy of innovation by empowering and equipping healthcare providers with the tools they need to deliver better, smarter, and safer treatments to their patients."
Previewed in 2023 at the Symposium on Advanced Wound Care, the V.A.C.® Peel and Place Dressing is available now in
