v.a.c. therapy

V.A.C.^® Therapy promotes wound healing through Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). By delivering negative pressure (a vacuum) at the wound site through a proprietary dressing, the wound edges are drawn together, infectious materials are removed & granulation tissue is promoted at the cellular level. Use of V.A.C.^® Therapy has also been shown to help speed the healing of wound grafts.

The V.A.C.^® Therapy System is comprised of essential components that actively work together to help promote wound healing.

V.A.C.® Therapy Unit - Provides negative pressure wound therapy with integrated patient safety features.

SENSAT.R.A.C.™ Technology - Regulates pressure at the wound site to provide accurate delivery of prescribed therapy settings.

V.A.C.^® Canister - Collects exudate.

V.A.C.^® GRANUFOAM™ Dressing - Help provide the necessary mechanisms to promote granulation tissue formation.

Please note the VAC unit has been discontinued by the manufacturer, we still offer a loan unit and will continue to supply consumables while stock is still available.

Dressings sizes (unless stated):

• Small = 10x7cm

• Medium = 18x12cm
