Advanced veterinary wound care is available for dogs, and cats at Animal Republic Veterinary Hospital and ER. We offer Vacuum-Assisted Wound Closure (VAC), a modern treatment for managing open wounds and supporting faster, healthier healing.

Vacuum-Assisted Wound Closure uses a specialized bandage connected to a small vacuum device. The system applies gentle negative pressure to the wound, helping remove fluid and support the body’s natural healing process.

VAC therapy improves blood circulation to the wound, delivering oxygen and nutrients needed for tissue repair. By removing excess fluid, it reduces swelling and helps speed recovery.

The continuous suction helps remove fluids that may contribute to infection while the sealed bandage protects the wound from dirt and bacteria.

This therapy also creates an optimal wound environment. Maintaining controlled moisture supports new tissue formation and assists with the removal of damaged tissue.

Compared with traditional bandaging, VAC therapy often requires fewer bandage changes, which can make the recovery process more comfortable for pets.
