A **wound vacuum-assisted closure (VAC)**, or wound vac, is a medical device that helps promote wound healing by creating a controlled negative pressure environment around the wound. Here’s a step-by-step description of how it works:

1. **Preparation and Dressing Placement**:
The wound is cleaned thoroughly to prevent infection.
A special foam or gauze dressing is cut to fit the wound bed and placed inside the wound.
The foam provides a structure for the vacuum to distribute pressure evenly.

2. **Sealing the Wound**:
An adhesive drape is applied over the dressing to create an airtight seal. This prevents outside air from entering the wound and ensures the vacuum system works effectively.

3. **Attachment to the Vacuum**:
A small tube or port is connected to the foam dressing through the drape.
The tube is attached to the wound vac machine, which generates negative pressure.

4. **Applying Negative Pressure**:
The wound vac creates a gentle vacuum (negative pressure) within the sealed wound area.
This vacuum draws fluid, such as excess blood, pus, or exudate, away from the wound and into a collection canister.

5. **Promoting Healing**:
The negative pressure pulls the wound edges together, which can reduce the size of the wound.
It increases blood flow to the area, delivering oxygen and nutrients essential for healing.
It reduces swelling and removes infectious material, creating a cleaner environment.

6. **Continuous or Intermittent Use**:
The vacuum pressure can be set to operate continuously or intermittently, depending on the type and severity of the wound and the physician’s recommendation.

7. **Monitoring and Changing**:
The dressing and collection canister are replaced regularly, usually every 2-3 days or as needed, to maintain cleanliness and effectiveness.
Medical professionals monitor the wound’s progress and adjust the treatment as necessary.

Wound vacs are commonly used for chronic wounds (e.g., diabetic ulcers), post-surgical wounds, burns, and pressure sores, especially those that are deep or have heavy drainage. The negative pressure accelerates healing by optimizing the wound environment and reducing complications like infections.
