1 The Wound VAC: The Hoover of healing Karen Lo 10/5/09 R2 University of Colorado Department of Surgery
2 Overview Background on wounds Biology of wound healing Deterrents and aids to wound healing Science behind Wound VAC Clinic studies supporting Wound VAC
3 Why are wounds relevant? Wounds are a significant burden Chronic wounds alone affect: over 5 million patients Cost of wound: 20 billion dollars a year
4 Biology of Wound Healing Wound healing phases Inflammatory Proliferative Remodeling
5 Inflammatory Stage Days 0-40 Starts with Hemostatsis platelets dominate Then on to Inflammation Leukocytes and macrophages dominate
6 Proliferative phase Days Fibroblasts dominant cell type
7 Maturation phase Days 14 onwards Collagen crosslinking and reorganization Fibroblasts differentiate into Myofibroblast
8 Barriers to wound healing Infection 100,000 bacteria per gram tissue Excess edema or excess dryness Poor blood flow Hypoxia due to smoking or disease
9 Healing optimization Clean and protected environment Perfused Tissues getting cells and oxygen Moist environment Minimize exudate and edema What can do all this??
10 WOUND VAC!!
11 The Wound VAC!! Negative pressure wound therapy NPWT Topical Negative Pressure TNP How it works: Polyurethane Foam is placed in wound bed, sealed with occlusive dressing Evacuation tube embedded in foam dressing Applies localized negative pressure
12 Why it works Primary effect Contraction of wound Stabilization of wound Removal of extracellular fluid Secondary effects Increase in blood flow Increase granulation tissue Increase compliance due to fewer dressing changes
13 Basic science research Pig model On each animal wound treated with V.A.C. compared to Sterile Saline gauze Morykwas MJ, V.A.C: a new method for wound control and treatment: animal studies and basic foundation. Ann Plast Surg. 1997;38(6):
14 Basic science research Blood flow levels increased fourfold when 125 mmhg subatmospheric pressure used Significantly increased rate of granulation tissue formation occurred with NPWT Tissue bacterial counts significantly decreased after 4 days of application Morykwas MJ, V.A.C: a new method for wound control and treatment: animal studies and basic foundation.

16 Basic science research VAC promoted capillary blood flow velocity increased capillary caliber and blood volume stimulated endothelial proliferation and angiogenesis Chen SZ: Effects of VAC on wound microcirculation: an experimental study, Asian J Surg 2005, 28(3):211-7
17 Clinical Studies 1997 study of 300 patients 175 chronic wounds 94 sub acute wounds 31 acute wounds Findings: 296 wounds responded to VAC treatment VAC removed chronic edema Enhanced formation of granulation tissue Argenta LC.
