Conditions we treat
Wound VAC / NPWT at Home.
Treated at the bedside, at home and in facilities across New York City, Westchester, Nassau, and Suffolk.
What it is
Negative pressure therapy, managed where you live.
A wound VAC, negative pressure wound therapy, uses a sealed dressing and a quiet pump to draw fluid away and encourage deep wounds to close. Hospitals start it. Somebody has to keep it running at home: dressing changes on schedule, seal checks, pump troubleshooting, and a clinical eye on whether the wound underneath is actually progressing.
That is what our visits do. We change and reseal the dressing, verify the pump settings, document the wound at every change, and teach the household what the alarms mean, which ones are routine and which ones deserve a call. When the therapy has done its work, or is not doing its work, we say so plainly and coordinate the next step with the referring team.
When to call
A seal that keeps losing suction. An alarm you cannot silence. Drainage that changes suddenly. A dressing change that is overdue because the visit fell through. Or a discharge planner who needs NPWT continued at home and a team to own it.
