Wound VAC (NPWT) care · Vero Beach
Wound VAC (NPWT) treatment in Vero Beach — at the bedside.
A wound VAC only works when the seal holds and dressing changes happen on schedule — which is exactly where home and facility NPWT tends to fall apart. Our clinicians manage negative pressure wound therapy at the bedside: scheduled dressing changes, seal and device troubleshooting, drainage monitoring, and a clear line back to the ordering surgeon. In Vero Beach, that means treating patients at home, in assisted living, and in skilled nursing facilities near Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital — without asking anyone to arrange transport to a wound clinic.

Questions
Wound VAC (NPWT) care in Vero Beach: quick answers.
Who changes the wound VAC dressing at home?
Our licensed clinicians perform NPWT dressing changes at home or in the facility, on the schedule the ordering provider prescribed.
What if the VAC alarms or loses its seal?
Call us. Many seal and alarm problems can be corrected at the bedside, and we escalate to the device company or surgeon when the device itself is the issue.
When does NPWT stop?
When the wound has progressed enough to transition to conventional dressings — a decision we track with measurements and coordinate with the ordering provider.
