چکیده
Vacuum-assisted wound closure (VAC) is a non-invasive, active, wound management therapy exposing the wound bed to local sub-atmospheric negative pressure through a closed system in order to facilitate wound healing. Initially introduced in human medicine for the treatment of chronic wounds, VAC removes fluid from the extra vascular space, improving circulation and enhancing the proliferation of granulation tissue.
