Dedicated dressings for specific wound applications
Chronic and acute wounds can be complex and difficult to heal.
That’s why KCI has designed and developed V.A.C.®
Therapy dressing systems specifically created to help you in
meeting your wound healing goals. These advanced dressing systems
employ two technologies depending on wound type and desired wound
healing goals:
V.A.C. GranuFoam Silver®
An advanced silver dressing specifically designed
for use with V.A.C.® Therapy (V.A.C.
ATS® and V.A.C. Freedom®)
- Direct and complete contact with the wound bed
- Continuous delivery of silver directly to the wound bed
- Effective microbial kill[1]
- Easy to use
V.A.C. GranuFoam®*
An
advanced wound dressing to assist granulation and enhance
exudate removal
- Flexible design adapts to the contours of deep and irregularly
shaped wounds
- Open reticulated pore sizes of 400–600 micrometers assist
granulation[2, 3]
- Open pore nature of V.A.C. GranuFoam® ensures equal
distribution of the negative pressure at the wound
site[4]
- Hydrophobic, open pore structure helps facilitate exudate
removal
V.A.C.® WhiteFoam*
A versatile and comfortable advanced wound dressing
- Non-adherent material helps promote graft survival
- High tensile strength ideal for wounds with tunnels or
undermining
- Increased density for restricted in-growth of granulation
tissue for a more comfortable dressing change
- Helps protect delicate underlying structures
