treating different wound types and for multiple wound applications.
1. Assess wound dimensions and pathology, including the presence of undermining or tunnels
(fig. 1). Use V.A.C.
dressing into blind / unexplored tunnels. V.A.C.
Dressing may be used for wounds with shallow undermining or tunnel areas where the distal
aspect is visible.
NoTE: If adjunct materials are utilized under the V.A.C.
fenestrated to allow for effective exudate removal and negative pressure delivery. Document
on the V.A.C. ® Drape / 3M™ Tegaderm™ Dressing or Foam Quantity Label and in the
patient's chart to ensure removal with subsequent dressing changes.
2. Carefully tear the V.A.C.
the foam to be placed gently into the wound without overlapping onto intact skin (fig. 2).
CAuTIoN: Do not cut or tear the foam over the wound, as fragments may fall
into the wound (Fig. 3). Away from wound site, rub foam edges to remove any
fragments or loose particles that may fall into or be left in the wound upon dressing
removal.
