How much sooner will a wound heal with a wound vac instead of the wet to dry
Answer: How much faster will a wound vac close a wound instead of W-D dressings? Thank you for your excellent question. WoundVacs have revolutionized plastic surgery wound care, speeding recovery for patients whose reason for a wound has been determined and appropriately treated. I would estimate based on the size of wound that it would help close it several weeks to months faster than conventional treatments

Answer: Wound VAC vs. wet to dry dressing It's difficult to give you an exact time estimate, however a wound VAC will definitely speed up the healing process. The VAC pump can be a little more cumbersome, but you won't need as many dressing changes. Given the option, I would recommend the wound VAC.

Answer: A good wound for a VAC Hi, this would be a good wound to place a VAC dressing on. It would definitely speed things up for you and reduce the number of dressings you require. It is not always practical to source a VAC dressing and it will depend on your provider. If it is an option, then I would definitely discuss it with your surgeon. Good luck with the healing.

Answer: Wound Healing with a Wound VAC In general, a wound of the size you are showing will take about 6 - 8 weeks to heal with a Wound VAC. It would take about 10 - 12 weeks with W - Dry dressing. Also, increasing protein intake, a balanced and high caloric intake,and no infection will speed things up considerably.
