V.A.C.® GRANUFOAM™

Device typeNegative-pressure wound therapy system foam dressing, non-antimicrobial: A pad made of open-cell foam material designed to be placed into a wound during a vacuum-assisted wound closure procedure, commonly known as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT); it does not include an antimicrobial agent(s). It is typically used to treat hard-to-heal open wounds (e.g., acute, traumatic, and chronic), burns, diabetic/pressure ulcers, flaps and grafts. Under NPWT, the open-cell foam dressing decompresses capillaries/lymphatic vessels, improves blood/interstitial fluid circulation, draws wound edges together, facilitates granulation tissue formation, and prepares the wound bed for closure. It may be cut to conform to the wound. This is a single-use device.
