vacuum assist closure
Vacuum assist closure is a technique used to help close wounds or surgical incisions more effectively. It involves applying a controlled vacuum or suction to the wound area, which removes excess fluids and promotes blood flow. This negative pressure encourages the edges of the wound to come together and stay closed, reducing swelling and the risk of infection. Typically, a specialized dressing connected to a pump creates the vacuum environment, supporting faster healing and better tissue regeneration. This method is especially useful for difficult or large wounds, improving healing outcomes through improved wound management.
