“…Negative pressure therapy seems to promote healing in a higher proportion of large diabetic foot wounds, with faster healing rates than standard moist dressings. 43,44 Although ulcer recurrence rates following this type of treatment have not been described, they could be expected to be relatively high in patients with neuropathic forefoot ulcers and increased plantar pressure.…”

“…Researchers believe that VCT systems do improve total tissue blood flow and oxygenation. These systems increase periwound perfusion and consequently accelerate wound healing by producing alternating positive and negative pressure [6,[24][25][26][27][28][29].…”

“…Different methods, such as negative pressure wound dressings [25][26], VCT [6], intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) [27], and highvoltage pulsed current [30], have been recommended. In recent decades, the role of vacuum systems in improving tissue circulation and wound healing has been emphasized and the use of negative-pressure wound dressings for treatment of ischemic ulcers has been highly recommended.…”

“…La mayoría de los estudios publicados sobre utilizació n del VAC en el tratamiento del pie diabé tico tratan ú lceras menos profundas que las de nuestros pacientes 4,5 . En un estudio multicé ntrico publicado recientemente se seleccionaron só lo pacientes con ú lceras de grado 2 y 3 (segú n clasificació n de Wagner), es decir, menos avanzadas que las de nuestros pacientes 10 .…”

“…Este sistema se introdujo en la prá ctica clínica hace 10 añ os. Se ha indicado que el tratamiento mediante apó sitos de presió n negativa puede acelerar la cicatrizació n de heridas en el pie diabé tico [3][4][5] . El mecanismo de acció n de este sistema es multifactorial y consiste en una evacuació n del exceso de líquido y una reducció n del edema de los tejidos adyacentes y, por lo tanto, mejora la perfusió n microvascular y disminuye la colonizació n bacteriana, protegiendo al mismo tiempo la herida de la contaminació n externa 6 .…”
