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 absence 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�
