Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), or Wound Vac, creates a controlled healing environment by applying gentle vacuum suction to pull wound edges together. This advanced medical therapy continuously removes excess fluid and bacterial contaminants, providing a sterile environment that stimulates healthy tissue growth and accelerates the body's natural recovery process.
- Improved Healing: Actively draws blood flow to the wound to nourish new healthy tissue.
- Fluid Management: Removes excess drainage that can slow down repairs.
- Gentle Dressing Changes: Professional clinician visits 2-3 times per week ensure safety and comfort.
- Home Mobility: Portable pump systems allow patients to maintain daily activity while healing.
Home Care Fundamentals: To ensure the best results, patients keep the pump connected 24/7. Our clinical team provides full training on monitoring the foam seal and responding to device alerts, making professional wound care manageable in your preferred environment.
Accelerated Healing Through Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)
Diabetic Ulcers
We treat non-healing diabetic foot ulcers by stimulating blood flow and protecting the site from infection, helping patients avoid complications and maintain mobility.
Wounds We Treat
Surgical Insufficiency
Advanced healing support for dehisced or complex surgical wounds that require consistent fluid management and tissue expansion support to close properly.
Traumatic Injury
Comprehensive management of deep lacerations and trauma wounds, utilizing localized therapy to maintain sterility and create the ideal environment for tissue repair.
Safe Recovery with Wound Vac Therapy
Dressing Changes
Wound Vac dressings must be changed every 48 to 72 hours by a trained clinician to maintain sterility and support healthy tissue growth. Your specialist will schedule these visits to ensure your recovery remains on track.
Alarms & Status
Listen for 'Leak' or 'Blockage' alarms. Always keep the pump plugged in to maintain continuous therapy. If the suction stops for more than two hours, specialized dressings must be removed and replaced with traditional dressings to prevent infection.
Fluid Monitoring
The NPWT system clears fluid from the wound into a collection canister. Monitor the color and daily amounts of exudate. Contact your clinician immediately if you notice bright red blood or a sudden shift in the consistency of the fluid.
Emergency Guidance: When to Call Your Provider
Please contact your wound care provider or surgeon immediately if you notice any key warning signs. These include increased pain, redness, or warmth around the site, a foul odor, or a fever. You should also call if you experience a sudden leak or if the device alarm will not stop, ensuring your therapy remains safe and effective.
