ActiV.A.C.® Therapy Unit
Searching for better wound care
InfoV.A.C. is an NPWT device 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, non-invasive, advanced approach to negative pressure wound therapy. The System uses an intelligent therapy unit to deliver controlled negative (sub-atmospheric) pressure to the wound site. Special 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.
