Abstract
Open wounds that do not heal tend to have high infection rates. It is extremely important to implement proper antibiotic cover and thorough debridement irrigation irrespective of the fixing method. One popular technique for hastening wound healing and reducing infection in nonhealing ulcers is VAC therapy. The main drawback of VAC therapy is the high cost and need for special equipment. Our hospital has found very positive outcomes in wound healing and infection control when we use low-cost, custom-made VAC therapy for non-healing ulcers in lower socioeconomic groups. Keywords: VAC therapy, negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT), vacuum aided closure (VAC), micro deformational wound therapy (MDWT), Open wounds.
