Negative pressure wound therapy is a medical procedure in which a vacuum dressing is used to enhance and promote wound healing in acute, chronic and burn wounds. The therapy involves using a sealed wound dressing attached to a pump to create a negative pressure environment in the wound.ses for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy. Several different types of wounds can benefit from negative pressure wound therapy such as: 1  diabetic ulcers. 2  venous ulcers. 3  arterial ulcers. 4  pressure ulcers. 5  first and second degree burns. 6  chronic wounds. 7  wounds with large amounts of drainage.
Fast and effective healing. V.A.C. Therapy (Vacuum-Assisted Closure Therapy) delivers good healing results for Leg Ulcers. These results follow from several known effects of V.A.C. Therapy. 1) It stimulates cell proliferation via the process of micro-strain.t helps formation of granulation tissue and epithelialisation. In a randomized controlled trial Vuerstaek et al. showed the V.A.C. Therapy reduces the healing time for leg ulcers from 45 days for standard wound treatment to 29 days when V.A.C. Therapy was used.
