1. Remove both backing Layers 1 and 2 to expose adhesive (fig. 13).
2. Place pad opening in central disc directly over hole in the SensaT.R.A.C.™ / T.R.A.C.™ Bridge
(fig. 14).
3. Apply gentle pressure on the central disc and outer skirt to ensure complete adhesion of the
pad.
4. Pull back on blue tab to remove pad stabilization layer (fig. 15).
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 lay on top of foam only. It may be
necessary to augment the V.A.C.
V.A.C. Foam cut 1 - 2 cm larger than the diameter of the central disc. If this is used, please

ensure the periwound skin is protected prior to foam augmentation.
