Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC)

Vacuum-Assisted Closure (VAC) is an advanced wound healing technique that uses negative pressure to promote faster tissue regeneration. It is commonly used for chronic wounds, post-surgical incisions, burns, ulcers, and traumatic injuries where conventional healing methods may be slow or ineffective.

Benefits of VAC Therapy:

Removes excess fluids and infections, reducing swelling and bacterial growth.
Enhances blood circulation, accelerating tissue repair.
Encourages wound closure, especially in deep or complex wounds.

The procedure involves placing a sterile dressing over the wound, which is then sealed and connected to a vacuum pump. This controlled suction helps create an optimal healing environment, reducing the need for frequent dressing changes and lowering the risk of complications.

Wound Care Products

Wound care products are essential for promoting proper healing, preventing infections, and minimizing discomfort in various types of wounds, from minor cuts to surgical incisions and chronic ulcers. These products create a protective barrier, maintain moisture balance, and support tissue regeneration.
