## Indications for use
Avance Y-connector S is intended for use in the Avance Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) system, to connect and allow therapy of multiple wounds simultaneously by using one pump. The Avance NPWT system, with associated products are indicated for patients who would benefit from a suction device (negative pressure wound therapy), as it may promote wound healing via the removal of fluids, including irrigation and body fluids, wound exudate and infectious materials. Examples of appropriate wound types include: chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acute and dehisced wounds, ulcers (such as pressure or diabetic), partial-thickness burns, flaps and grafts.
