VAC stands for Vacuum Assisted Closure, which is a poking suction closure technique. This technique uses negative pressure to adsorb substances to promote the growth of macrophages and fibroblasts on the surface of the wound, while also effectively draining wound secretions. In hospitals, VAC technology is commonly used for the treatment of large wounds, burns, and post-surgical wound healing. With the aid of VAC technology, healthcare professionals can promote faster and more effective wound healing.
The VAC technique involves applying a dressing to the surface of the wound and then connecting a negative pressure device to suction the wound, creating a closed environment that allows the wound to heal itself. This technique is a very effective treatment that accelerates the wound healing process, reduces complications, and also reduces pain and discomfort and hospitalization time. VAC technology has been widely used in the medical industry and is considered a very promising technology.
While VAC technology is very effective in treating wounds, it is not appropriate in all cases. Patients with certain medical conditions and some patients with severe wounds cannot be treated with VAC technology. In addition, the technique needs to be accompanied by tight sterilization to avoid contamination and infection. Healthcare professionals in hospitals must be certified and professionally trained to use this technique. During its use, the relevant norms and procedures must be strictly adhered to so as to ensure its safety and effectiveness.
