3M™ V.A.C.^® Therapy

V.A.C.^® Therapy repeatedly sets the standard for negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). Used to treat more than 10 million wounds¹worldwide, there is reliable clinical evidence that associates V.A.C.^® Therapy with reduced risk of readmission and reduced need for reoperation² — ultimately helping to reduce hospitalisation time and the risk of complications.^2,3 Not all NPWT is the same, and choosing V.A.C.^® Therapy can help improve patient care and your bottom line.
