VAC Dressing: Innovative Solutions for Faster Wound Healing
VAC dressings, or Vacuum-Assisted Closure dressings, offer a revolutionary approach to wound healing by using controlled negative pressure to accelerate recovery. Unlike traditional bandages, this advanced system involves placing a foam dressing directly over the wound, sealing it with an airtight film, and connecting it to a pump that gently removes excess fluid, debris, and bacteria. This process not only keeps the wound clean but also enhances blood flow, promoting the growth of healthy tissue while reducing swelling and infection risk. VAC dressings are particularly beneficial for slow-healing wounds, such as surgical incisions, diabetic ulcers, traumatic injuries, and pressure sores, offering faster healing, improved tissue regeneration, and pain relief.
