Mr. P, a 50-year-old male, was admitted to nursing home with a severe case of bed sores (pressure ulcers) on his lower back and buttock. The bed sores were very deep and posses a risk of bone infection, presented a significant challenge for our medical team. Mr. P's existing health conditions further complicated the situation, making traditional wound healing methods less effective.
After a thorough assessment of his condition, our team decided to implement the Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC) technique, a cutting-edge approach known for its effectiveness in wound healing. The VAC technique involves the application of a special dressing and the creation of negative pressure around the wound, promoting faster healing by increasing blood flow and removing excess fluid and debris.
Over the course of several weeks, our dedicated team of healthcare professionals meticulously carried out the VAC treatment for Mr. P. Regular wound dressings and changes were done, and the progress was closely monitored. Through continuous care and attention, the results began to show.
Remarkably, Mr. P's bed sores started to heal at an accelerated rate. The VAC technique not only facilitated faster tissue regeneration but also provided a protective barrier against infection. Mr. P's pain and discomfort were notably reduced, and his overall quality of life improved as a result of the successful treatment.
Throughout his recovery journey, Mr. P showed great resilience and cooperation, adhering to the treatment plan and adopting preventive measures to avoid reoccurrence. Our healthcare team worked closely with him, providing education and support to ensure he could maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent future complications.
Today, we are delighted to share that Mr. P has made a remarkable recovery. The once problematic bed sores have healed significantly, leaving behind minimal scarring. Witnessing his transformation from a condition of distress to one of restored health and comfort has been deeply gratifying for the entire DR HOUZE team.
This case exemplifies the power of innovative medical techniques, dedicated healthcare professionals, and a patient's determination to overcome adversity. At DR HOUZE, we remain committed to providing the best possible care, employing state-of-the-art approaches like the Vacuum Assisted Closure technique to achieve remarkable outcomes for our patients.
Wound at the back in the beginning
Before and after DEBRIDEMENT. Its a deep, big wound at the size of 2 fists, leaving only a very thin margin to the bone.
Wound become sloughy very fast
Vacuum installed
Wound healing good
Almost healed
Decided to temporarily off vacuum to allow Mr. P to mobilize more to reduce other risks.
Although the healing speed is slower without the vacuum, DR HOUZE decided not to continue vacuum dressing since the wound is not as sloughy
With Mr. P' and family's kind permission, we are thrilled to include some photos showcasing his incredible recovery journey through the Vacuum Assisted Closure (VAC) technique. Witnessing the progress he made during the treatment is truly inspiring.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mr. P for allowing us to share these images, which serve as a testament to the remarkable results that can be achieved with the right approach to wound healing and patient-centered care.
