VACUTEX is a 3 mm layered 'sandwich' dressing. The layers of the dressing 'pull' interstitial fluid from the wound and places it within the central layer until saturation when it moves to the third outer layer. VACUTEX can be used on infected or heavily exudating wounds such as venous ulcers, pressure ulcers, burns, fungating wounds, stoma sites, cavity wounds and non-healing wounds. It is available in a range of sizes and can be tailored to suit each wound requirement individually.

homes following the Health Care Financing Administation's (HCFA) approval of
a new Medicare Part B reimbursement code. VAC (Vacuum Assisted Closure)
therapy helps to heal chronic wounds, including diabetic ulcers, bed sores,
flaps, grafts, non-healing wounds, and traumatic wounds.
