Also be in regular followup and get it reviewed with well qualified doctor, as treatment is sometimes not required or alternative surgical closure may be more effective.

TherapyProven therapy with over 918 peer-reviewed articles, the clinical and economic benefits of V.A.C.®(Vacuum Assisted Closure®) Therapy, also known as NPWT (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy) are widely known. However, it is equally important to understand how V.A.C. Therapy works deep inside the wound to achieve these outcomes. The following sections describe how NPWT (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy), namely V.A.C. Therapy, promotes wound healing and how its unique mechanisms of action differentiate it from other NPWT devices.
What Makes Up the V.A.C. Therapy SystemThree Critical Components, One Unique SystemThe V.A.C. Therapy System is comprised of three essential components that actively work together to help promote wound healing through granulation tissue formation.
How V.A.C. Therapy Promotes Wound HealingThe Science Behind the System: Macrostrain and MicrostrainUnder negative pressure, V.A.C. Therapy with proprietary V.A.C. GranuFoam Dressings applies mechanical forces to the wound to create an environment that promotes wound healing. These forces are known as macrostrain and microstrain.
Macrostrain is the visible stretch that occurs when negative pressure contracts the foam. Macrostrain:
Microstrain is the microdeformation at the cellular level, which leads to cell stretch.1 Microstrain:
Using V.A.C. Therapy with V.A.C. GranuFoam Dressings results in both macrostrain and microstrain for advanced wound healing. Watch a video of how V.A.C. Therapy works through macrostrain and microstrain. V.A.C. Therapy Mechanisms of ActionV.A.C. Therapy creates an environment that promotes wound healing through the following mechanisms:

V.A.C.® Therapy for WoundsSince its introduction in 1995 (U.S.) / 1994 (Europe), V.A.C.® Therapy has changed the way wounds are healed. With more published clinical evidence than any other form of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, V.A.C.® Therapy has been selected as the treatment of choice for more than 8,000,000 wounds worldwide*. 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 patented dressing, this helps draw wound edges together, remove infectious materials and actively promote granulation. With more than eight million wounds treated worldwide*, only V.A.C.® Therapy delivers the proven clinical and economic outcomes caregivers can trust.
