The SOMAVAC® Sustained Vacuum system (SVS) is intended for the removal of bodily fluids following large flap forming plastic and general surgeries. There are potential risks associated with the use of a SOMAVAC® SVS including a temporary lack of suction which could result in minor pain or engorgement because of some fluid retention. Talk to your surgeon about indications, warnings, precautions, adverse events and other important medical information. This information is for educational purposes only. Only your health care professional can determine if a SOMAVAC® SVS is right for you.
