About WoundVac Therapy
The process of V.A.C. therapy involves placing sterile foam in the wound and applying an airtight dressing. Then the V.A.C. device applies continuous, controlled, vacuum pressure. The suction removes problematic fluids and deposits them in a disposable container.
Removing chronic swelling in this way increases productive localized blood flow. The negative pressure also accelerates the growth of wound healing tissue.
For some patients, a mini-VAC may be available. This is a portable unit that can be worn while walking.
Wound Healing and Chronic Wounds
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) | Nigel… by as-KCI A career military man, Nigel was about to face his toughest battle. Complications to an abdominal surgery left Nigel with exposed intestines through a large, open wound.
With the help of the V.A.C. Therapy System, his wound progressed enough to be discharged in just eight weeks, rather than the five or six months his doctors had estimated.
Using a portable V.A.C. Therapy System, he was able to return to his daily routine while his wound continued to heal. And that, says Nigel, is worthy of a medal.
