Use of vacuum assisted closure therapy in the palliation of a malignant wound

Suzanne Ford-Dunn

St Barnabas Hospice, Worthing, suzanne.ford.dunn{at}stbarnabas-hospice.org.uk

Vaccum assisted closure (VAC) therapy is a novel method of wound healing using topical negative pressure across the wound bed and containing all exudate within a sealed system. We report the use of VAC therapy to control pain and exudate of a malignant wound.

Key Words: malignant wound • palliative care • vacuum assisted closure
