The Wound Vac Negative pressure wound therapy, applied with a machine commonly referred to as a wound vac, is an advanced method of wound healing. This therapy utilizes four main parts: the sponge, the dressing, the tubing, and the vacuum machine. Indications For Use Patient Management Lesson...
Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) temporization is a promising technique to achieve local control in aggressive soft tissue sarcomas. Despite its previously reported efficacy, adoption of VAC temporization remains limited, primarily due to the scarce literature on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) supporting ...
Provide contact information, if desired, for the CDC (www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd-vac). Answer any questions or address any concerns voiced by the patient or family. Instruct the patient in the use of any ordered medications (oral, topical, drops). Instruct the patient in the...
Wound vac dressing change A wound vac dressing change takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. This starts with initially gathering supplies and explaining the procedure to the patient. The end result is a skin assessment, new dressing and review with the patient to report any changes....
The patient-reported outcomes (PROs) for physical and mental health, physical function, and pain, as well as complication rates, were similar for patients with myxofibrosarcoma who had VAC temporization or SS excision/reconstruction after surgical resection (https://doi.org/ 10.1245/s10434-023-...

ASO Author Reflections: Does Wound VAC Temporization Offer Similar Patient-Reported Outcomes as Single-Stage Excision Reconstruction After Myxofibrosarcoma Resection?Achieving local control in highly infiltrative soft tissue sarcomas poses a formidable challenge for radiation oncologists and musculoskeletal ...
researchers have focused on 3D hydrogel encapsulation, as it is not only relatively easy to operate, but also serves as a delivery system [34,35]. Shear-thinning hydrogels are usually preferred as they allow for injection, which simplifies transplantation and minimizes patient pain. In addition, ...
The strategy to have wound dressings with tunable properties that could be tailored according to the specificities of the wound injury and patient needs is highly demanded by medical professionals [26,29]. In this view, although several reports have been published using hydrogels based on ...
