Science Behind Wound Therapy

Understanding the Science of V.A.C. Therapy

Proven 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 System

Three Critical Components, One Unique System

The V.A.C. Therapy System is comprised of three essential components that actively work together to help promote wound healing through granulation tissue formation.

1. V.A.C. Therapy Unit Provides intermittent and continuous therapy with integrated patient safety features
2. SensaT.R.A.C.™ Technology Regulates pressure at the wound site to provide accurate delivery of prescribed therapy settings
3. V.A.C. GranuFoam™ Dressings Help provide the necessary mechanisms to promote granulation tissue formation

How V.A.C. Therapy Promotes Wound Healing

The Science Behind the System: Macrostrain and Microstrain

Under 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:

- Draws wound edges together
- Provides direct and complete wound bed contact
- Evenly distributes negative pressure
- Removes exudate and infectious materials

Microstrain is the microdeformation at the cellular level, which leads to cell stretch.¹

Microstrain:

- Reduces edema
- Promotes perfusion
- Promotes granulation tissue formation by facilitating cell migration and proliferation

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 Action

V.A.C. Therapy creates an environment that promotes wound healing through the following mechanisms:

What is SensaT.R.A.C. Technology?

SensaT.R.A.C. Technology

V.A.C. Therapy uses SensaT.R.A.C.^™ (Therapeutic Regulated Accurate Care) to:

- Monitor and maintain target pressure at the wound site for consistent therapy delivery
- Helps reduce tubing blocks and false alarms through enhanced fluid dynamics
- Provides alarms for enhanced patient safety
- Enhance patient comfort

V.A.C.® Therapy for Wounds

Since 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.
