Abstract :
Background:Use of innovative dressing techniques like vacuum assisted closure (VAC) supposedly facilitates faster wound healing.
Objective:To compare vacuum-assisted dressing and conventional dressing with regards to wound healing.
Methodology:Sixty Participants were randomized into 2 groups of 30each [Vacuum assisted dressing (VAC)-‘Group V’, Conventional dressing-‘Group C’] and the results were compared for wound healing.
Observations: On day 3, discharge from woundswas absent in 22/30 patients in group V and present in all the patients in conventional dressing group. On day 6, most of the parameters showed significant difference, except granulation. By day 9, all the parameters of wound healing were significantly better in favourof group V.
Conclusion: All the parameters of wound healing, i.e. contraction of the wound, bleeding and angiogenesis, discharge, slough, granulation and healing time were all in favour of VAC dressing.
