Hi, Everyone!  
I was surfing the Internet for information on wounds and came across this wound vac thread.

I do not have experience with wound vac but was so impressed by all of your straight forwardness and concern that I joined this forum.

What I want to share is the info from one of the gaping wound healing links that appeared on the bottom of my screen of the wound vac thread. In case you don’t display the same links on your screen, here is the link to an apparently new procedure.

The pictures are graphic BUT the end result pictures depict ASTOUNDING HEALING

Anyone have experience with dermaclose? Is the tube shown in this graphic picture case #2 a wound vac tube.?

By the way, norinew or anyone else, I do not know what TMFI means.

So glad to hear of so many healings.

THANKS

Yes, that is a wound vac tube. I wish mine had been black, though. Mine was clear, always sticking out the bottom of my shirt, and anyone who cared to look could see the nasty stuff draining through it. Ick.

**frankly** , welcome to the Straight Dope Message Board. We discourage bumping threads as old as the two you have revived. If you’d like to continue to converse on these topics, I suggest you open a new discussion and link back to the old ones if you feel that pertinent information is contained within them.

I’m closing this thread and the other “zombie” you resurrected.
