Let Technology Help Your Body Heal

When traditional dressings aren’t enough, negative pressure wound therapy can provide the extra boost your body needs. At Wound Care St. Augustine, our Wound VAC systems apply gentle, consistent suction to the wound site — helping remove fluid, increase circulation, and promote faster healing from the inside out. It’s safe, effective, and backed by years of clinical success.

What Is Negative Pressure Wound Therapy?

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) — often referred to as Wound VAC therapy — uses a vacuum pump and a sealed dressing to gently pull excess fluid and bacteria from a wound. This reduces swelling, promotes blood flow, and creates an environment that helps tissue grow.

At Wound Care St. Augustine, we use NPWT to support the healing of post-surgical wounds, diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, and other complex skin injuries that aren’t healing with standard treatments.

Healing Under Pressure — The Right Kind

This therapy does more than just remove fluid. It stimulates your body’s natural healing response, protects the wound from external contaminants, and helps close wounds faster — with fewer complications.

Removes Fluids & Infections

Suction draws out exudate, debris, and bacteria to keep the wound clean and reduce infection risk.

Increases Circulation

The vacuum pressure stimulates blood flow and encourages healthy granulation tissue to form.

Accelerates Wound Closure

By reducing swelling and supporting tissue growth, NPWT helps wounds close faster — especially when paired with advanced dressings.

Promotes Faster, Cleaner Healing Suction removes fluids and bacteria, reducing infection risk and helping wounds close more efficiently.
Minimizes Swelling & Supports Tissue Growth By reducing inflammation and improving circulation, NPWT encourages your body to build healthy new tissue.
Ideal for Complex & Chronic Wounds Wound VAC therapy is especially effective for post-surgical wounds, pressure sores, and hard-to-heal ulcers.

Advanced Treatment for the Most Challenging Wounds

At Wound Care St. Augustine, our expertise in negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) allows us to treat some of the most complex wounds with confidence and success. Whether your wound is large, deep, infected, or slow to heal, Wound VAC therapy can help accelerate recovery while reducing complications.

Frequently Asked Questions About Wound VAC Therapy

Negative pressure wound therapy can feel unfamiliar — but it’s a safe, proven solution for many difficult wounds. Here are answers to common questions from our patients.

Is Wound VAC therapy painful?
Most patients feel only mild pressure or suction — not pain. We apply the dressing carefully and monitor you to ensure maximum comfort.
How long will I need to use a Wound VAC?
Treatment duration varies, but many patients use NPWT for a few weeks, depending on the wound’s size and severity.
Can I move around while using a Wound VAC?
Yes. Most systems are portable and allow you to stay mobile during treatment. We’ll show you how to use and care for the device at home.
