V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Dressings
Negative pressure wound therapy with instillation: a pilot study describing a new method for treating infected wounds
NPWT with 0.5% silver nitrate instillation showed a significant decrease in the mean time to bioburden reduction, wound closure and hospital discharge compared with traditional wet-to-moist wound care. NPWT with instillation may reduce cost and decrease inpatient care requirements for these complex, infected wounds.
Negative pressure wound therapy with saline instillation: 131 patient case series
NPWTi with saline, after proper debridement, was sufficient to shift the wound healing trajectory from risk of infection and delayed healing to granulation formation.
Novel foam dressing using negative pressure wound therapy with instillation to remove thick exudate

Negative pressure wound treatment with polyvinyl alcohol foam and polyhexanide antiseptic solution instillation in posttraumatic osteomyelitis
In post-traumatic osteomyelitis negative pressure instillation therapy significantly reduces the need for repeated surgical interventions, aids in the reduction of the rate of recurrence of infections and the duration of hospital stay in comparison with the standard approach.
Sterile-water negative pressure instillation therapy for complex wounds and NPWT failures
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Saline Instillation (NPWTi) can have a positive effect on the healing process of patients where NPWT failed or of patients with complex wounds.
First experiences with negative pressure wound therapy and instillation in the treatment of infected orthopaedic implants: a clinical observational study
NPWT with instillation can be used as adjunctive therapy for salvage of acutely infected orthopaedic implants and may even be considered for early chronically infected implants.
The impact of V.A.C. Instill® in severe soft tissue infections and necrotizing fasciitis
V.A.C. Instill® Wound Therapy is a useful tool for infection control in difficult anatomical regions and in case of impossibility of totally debridement in complicated skin and soft tissue infections.
Comparison of outcomes for normal saline and antiseptic solution for negative-pressure wound therapy with instillation.
Normal saline, when used as an instillation solution with VERAFLO™ Therapy, may be as effective as 0.1% polyhexanide plus 0.1% betaine (PHMB) for the adjunctive inpatient management of infected wounds.
Effect of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy With Instillation on Bioburden in Chronically Infected Wounds
NPWTi-d provides both, planktonic and non-planktonic bioburden reduction in wounds
NPWTi-d is a valid option for the conservative treatment of critical patients with abdominal wall wound dehiscence and exposed infected mesh

Evaluating the Efficacy of Treating Patients with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Automated Volumetric Fluid Instillation
NPWTi assists in wound cleansing and exudate removal, which may allow for earlier wound closure compared to standard NPWT.
Implant salvage in breast reconstruction with severe peri-prosthetic infection.
VERAFLO™ Therapy with saline was used as part of an implant salvage protocol for patients with severe peri-prosthetic infection following breast reconstruction.
The Impact of Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy with Instillation Compared with Standard Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy: A Retrospective, Historical, Cohort, Controlled Study
Compared to V.A.C.® Therapy, V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy showed a decrease in the number of operating room visits, length of hospital stay, and time to final surgical procedure and in increase in the percentage of wounds closed prior to discharge in the adjunctive treatment of acutely and chronically infected wounds.
