INDICATIONS FOR USE

The V.A.C.Ulta™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System is an integrated wound management
system that provides Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with an instillation option.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in the absense of instillation is intended to create an
environment that promotes wound healing by secondary or tertiary (delayed primary) intention by
preparing the wound bed for closure, reducing edema, promoting granulation tissue formation
and perfusion, and by removing exudate and infectious material. The instillation option is
indicated for patients who would benefit from vacuum assisted drainage and controlled delivery
of topical wound treatment solutions and suspensions over the wound bed.
The V.A.C.Ulta™ Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System with and without instillation is
indicated for patients with chronic, acute, traumatic, sub-acute and dehisced wounds, partial-
thickness burns, ulcers (such as diabetic, pressure and venous insufficiency), flaps and grafts.
