Negative Pressure Therapy (Wound Vac)
At Wound Care St. Augustine, we offer negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) — also known as Wound VAC therapy — to promote faster healing for complex and chronic wounds. This therapy uses controlled suction to remove fluid, reduce swelling, and stimulate tissue regeneration in even the most difficult wounds.
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.
