A�C� Verat�R�A�C� Duo™ Tube Set Application; Instill Pad Application - Acelity V.A.C.ULTA Safety Information And Application Instructions

V.A.C. VERAT.R.A.C. DUO™ TUBE SET APPLICATION
(Provided with the Large V.A.C. VeraFlo™ Dressing. Also available as an optional accessory for
use with the Small and Medium V.A.C. VeraFlo™ Dressings)
The V�A�C� VeraT�R�A�C� Duo™ Tube Set consists of two pads, the Instill Pad for fluid instillation and the
SensaT�R�A�C�™ Pad for fluid and exudate removal (Fig. 16)� Consider using the V�A�C� VeraT�R�A�C� Duo™
Tube Set for larger sized wounds requiring a flushing technique (fluid input and removal occur through
locations that are separated) (Fig 17)�
NOTE: Do not cut off the pad or insert the tubing into the foam dressing. This may occlude the tubing and
cause the V.A.C.Ulta™ Therapy Unit to alarm.

INSTILL PAD APPLICATION

1. Choose Instill Pad application site� Give particular consideration to fluid flow and tubing positioning
to allow for optimal flow, and avoid placement over bony prominences or within creases in the
tissue�
NOTE: Whenever possible, the Instill Pad should be placed superior to the SensaT.R.A.C.™ Pad.
NOTE: To prevent periwound maceration with wounds that are smaller than the central disc of the
pad, it is very important that the central disc not over hang the edge of the foam and that the periwound
area is properly protected. For periwound area protection instructions, refer to the Wound Preparation
section. Please refer to the Bridge Application with V.A.C. VeraFlo™ Dressing System section in
these instructions for use and the V.A.C.® Therapy Clinical Guidelines for additional dressing application
techniques.
2. Pinch V�A�C�® Advanced Drape and carefully cut an approximately 2.5 cm hole through the V�A�C�®
Advanced Drape (not a slit) (Fig. 18)� The hole should be large enough to allow for the input of fluid�
It is not necessary to cut into the foam�
NOTE: Cut a hole rather than a slit, as a slit may self-seal during therapy.
