What makes a wound complex?Wounds with exposed tendons, nerves and bones are often described as ‘complex’. A series of other factors including associated diseases, large size, crushing injury, infecton, chronicity and history of previous radiation all add to the complexity of a wound.
Rigorous, focused surgical intervention is frequently required to repair these wounds.
So how are complex wounds treated?Many surgical options are available for a complex wound. However, any decision should be holistic and take into account factors such as the occupational circumstances of the patient, comorbidity, likelihood of success, donor morbidity, functional outcome, the risks of surgery and anaesthesia.
The surgical management of problem wounds generally aims to obtain rapid wound closure with the simplest method and with minimal compromise of cosmesis and function.1
The mechanism of CuraVACCuraVAC is the wound dressing kit designed for Negative Pressure Wound Therapy which leads to faster granulation which accommodates current methods for healing.
Granulation till the level of skin/Coverage of all vital tissues/Bleeding noted on granulation

Any Soft Tissue Defect with Vascular bed
End PointFrequent use of NPWT is noted to be a significant change in practice, with a trend down the reconstructive ladder, using fewer free flaps and more delayed closures and skin grafts.2
