A VAC dressing machine, also known as Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), is a medical device used to promote faster and safer wound healing. It works by applying controlled suction (negative pressure) to a wound through a sealed dressing connected to a vacuum pump.
The system typically includes a foam or gauze dressing placed inside the wound, a transparent adhesive film to create an airtight seal, tubing, and the VAC machine itself. When activated, the machine gently removes excess fluid, pus, and bacteria from the wound while improving blood flow to the area.
VAC dressing machines are commonly used for:
Chronic wounds (diabetic foot ulcers, pressure sores)
Surgical wounds
Traumatic injuries
Burns and infected wounds
The benefits of VAC therapy include faster healing, reduced swelling, lower infection risk, and improved formation of healthy granulation tissue. Many patients also experience fewer dressing changes compared to traditional wound care.
However, VAC therapy is not suitable for all wounds. It should be used under medical supervision, especially in patients with poor circulation, untreated infections, or exposed blood vessels. Proper dressing application and pressure settings are essential to avoid complications such as pain.
VAC dressing machine is a highly effective wound-care tool when used correctly and under professional guidance, helping complex wounds heal more efficiently and safely.
