    Not all NPWT devices are the same - V.A.C.® Therapy

    V.A.C.® Therapy is the only negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) device engineered with technology that maintains and adjusts to deliver set pressure at the wound site. SENSAT.R.A.C.™ Technology provides confidence that the programmed negative pressure is being maintained.

    This technology can detect blockages and notify clinicians, force air into the system to reduce blockages and sense pressure changes to the wound site. It can also adjust as conditions change and draw exudate away from the wound.
