Vac hastens wound healing.

Very much helpful. It helps in removing dead tissues from bed sores effectively. Reduces need for repeated surgical debridement. Faster healing..but should be combined with antibiotic therapy if infected

See a Vascular surgeon

VAC therapy is a very useful tool You need to share pic of the wound Is she diabetic ? Was there any trauma ?

In your mother's case, since bone is exposed, you will have to do an x-ray of foot to see if bone is not affected. If bone is affected, treatment is different. If not, several studies have showed improved and faster healing with VAC. In my experience also VAC has faster healing rates. Other advantage is that daily dressing can be avoided. VAC needs to be changed once in five days only. Disadvantage is that unless you have a suction pump at home, you will need hospital stay .

1. Send the photograph of wound 2. VAC helps in faster wound healing 3. Large Heal wound usually needs graft/flap 4. Consult plastic surgeon

It's for chronic non healing wounds. It promotes wound healing and keeps the wound clean at the same time in most of the cases. Usually it's required for 2-3 weeks may be more depending upon the response. But you should consult a surgeon before going for it.

Hi Get the MRI done to get extent of the wound Followed by Debridement and VAC application
