FAQ: About NPWT and 3M™ V.A.C.® Therapy

What is Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)?

NPWT, also known as wound vac therapy, is a treatment that uses controlled suction to remove fluid, reduce swelling, and help wounds heal faster. It creates an optimal environment for healing by promoting blood flow and new tissue growth.

What types of wounds benefit from NPWT?

NPWT is effective for many wound types, including:
Diabetic foot ulcers
Pressure injuries (bedsores)
Post-surgical wounds
Traumatic wounds
Venous
Arterial ulcers

How does 3M™ V.A.C.® Therapy improve wound healing?

3M™ V.A.C.® Therapy is the most studied NPWT system available. It delivers consistent negative pressure, which helps wounds heal up to 2x faster, lowers infection risk, and reduces the need for hospitalization. It’s trusted in hospitals and now available at home through Vital Wound Care.

Is wound vac therapy painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort during NPWT. In fact, many say it reduces pain over time as the wound begins to heal and inflammation goes down.

How often does the wound vac dressing need to be changed?

Dressings are typically changed every 48–72 hours by a trained wound care provider. At Vital Wound Care, our certified nurse practitioners manage all dressing changes and monitor the wound closely.

Is 3M™ V.A.C.® Therapy covered by insurance?

Yes. At Vital Wound Care, we accept Medicare Advantage, Aetna, TriCare, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, and more. We also handle insurance authorization and paperwork for our referral partners.

Can this therapy be done at home?

Yes. One of the biggest benefits of working with Vital Wound Care is that we offer hospital-grade wound vac therapy in the comfort of your home, under the care of specialized nurse practitioners.
