Abstract
Vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy is a widely used method to promote granulation tissue in lower-extremity wounds. However, maintenance of a tight seal over irregular surfaces is difficult, especially around ring fixators. The presented technique in this article offers a time-saving and safe method to achieve an airtight seal around circular fixator in VAC therapy.
