Abstract
Brown recluse spider (Loxosceles sp) bites continue to be a significant challenge to manage clinically. Sequelae from these lesions range from chronic necrotic ulcers that persist for months to an acute life-threatening course of sepsis.

We present a novel application for the use of this therapy in a retrospective review of eight clinical cases treated with the VAC.
