Searching for better wound care
InfoV.A.C.® is designed to achieve better outcomes in
the management of acute, traumatic and chronic wounds in a clinical
environment.
The Integrated V.A.C.® Therapy System is a proven,
noninvasive, advanced approach to wound healing. The System uses an
intelligent therapy unit to deliver controlled negative
(sub-atmospheric) pressure to the wound site. Specialised foam
dressings, applied to the wound site, ensure that fluid is
continuously drawn away from the wound and
SensaT.R.A.C.® Technology manages the equal distribution of
pressure across the wound area.
Fast
Ease and speed of use are greatly enhanced with features such
as full colour touch screens, electronic seal checking and
automated wound measurement.
- Intuitive software – touch screens and fully re-programmed menu
system
- Click-fit canister application – for rapid, hygienic, fitting
and removal
- Aural and visual application guidance system – distinctive
alarms are supported by clear on-screen guidance explaining the
current problem and demonstrating the steps required for rapid
rectification
- Long battery life – all aspects of the unit have been
engineered to save time
Effective
Detailed therapy history recording and feedback collates wound
management and progression information.
- Detailed course of therapy recording – you can upload wound
images via a USB stick or memory card. Using the supplied touch
screen pen, you can then trace the wound and the therapy unit will
automatically calculate the wound size (and volume if you input the
depth)
- Anti-clog technology – the 3D multi-channel profile of
SensaT.R.A.C.® minimises blocking and clogging
Quality Of Life
The
Seal Check™ and SensaT.R.A.C.® technology, combined with
information-rich alarms improve patient comfort and reduces
distress.
- Skin-soft conformable SensaT.R.A.C.® – the structure
of the pad presents a large surface area of even pressure to the
wound, offering a comfortable fit and minimises the risk of
pressure damage to the skin
- Night mode – sleep and rest are not interrupted by the dimmed
screen and the near silent operation of the unit
- Odour control - the exudate management system controls strong
odours
Cost Effective
V.A.C.® Therapy delivers lower hospitalisation costs
and reduced costs of nursing time when compared with using moist
gauze.1
- Cost effective – only 3% of wound management costs relate to
dressings. The rest sits mostly in nursing time and hospital
costs2
- The speed and efficacy of the Integrated V.A.C.®
Therapy System cuts these costs
