Palm Wound Care
Conditions & Therapies

Wound VAC and NPWT support, in the living room.

Negative pressure wound therapy works — if it runs continuously and the dressing is changed properly. We run the setup, change the dressings, troubleshoot alarms at 9 p.m., and coordinate with your DME company so the therapy actually works.

Our approach

What home-based wound VAC and NPWT care looks like in practice.

Dressing changes that hold the seal

Humidity and skin oils make seals fail fast in South Florida. Our technique is built for it — with skin prep and drape overlap that actually lasts.

Alarm troubleshooting

Leak, blockage, canister full — we know the common failure modes and we teach the family to handle the easy ones between visits.

DME coordination

We work with the major NPWT vendors and manage supply requests so you're not on the phone chasing foam and canisters.

Transition off NPWT

Knowing when to stop is as important as starting. We guide the wean-down to traditional dressings when the wound bed is ready.

When to call us

You probably shouldn't wait.

FAQ

Questions about wound VAC and NPWT care

Do I need a prescription for a wound VAC?

Yes — the therapy is prescribed by a physician or NP. Our practice can write and manage the order, or we can work under an order from your existing team.

How often are dressing changes?

Typically 2–3 times a week, depending on wound size and drainage. We set expectations clearly in the first visit.

What happens if the pump alarms at night?

Call our on-call line. Most alarms — seal leaks, canister full — are teachable fixes we'll walk you through. If it needs an in-person visit, we come out.
