Removal & Change Frequency

In a monitored, non-infected wound, V.A.C. Whitefoam™ Dressings should be changed every 48 to 72 hours but not less than three times per week, with frequency adjusted by the clinician as appropriate. Infected wounds must be monitored often and very closely. For these wounds, dressings may need to be changed more often than 48-72 hours; the dressing change intervals should be based on a continuing evaluation of wound condition and the patient’s clinical presentation, rather than a fixed schedule.
