Wound Vac Care at Home in Harlem
Wound vac care delivered on site for pressure wounds of all stages and for diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers.
What is Wound Vac Care?
Wound vac care uses gentle suction to help stubborn wounds progress toward healing in a quicker and more stable manner. A soft dressing is inserted within the wound, a clear film creates a secure seal, and a small portable pump draws away trapped fluid so the area remains clean, shielded, and well supported. This approach is often especially effective for pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and venous leg ulcers.
At NYC Wound, our team provides the entire setup and personalised care directly in your home in Harlem, ensuring your healing experience feels smoother, easier, and more reassuring.

What To Expect During Your Wound Vac At-Home Appointments
Our Wound Care Specialists come directly into your home to set up and supervise your wound vac therapy in the comfort of a familiar space. After your call, our Care Coordinator arranges the visit and pairs you with a clinician who has substantial experience working with pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and venous leg ulcers.
Within your Harlem home, your clinician assesses the wound, prepares the wound bed, and applies the wound vac dressing along with the full seal. They test the pump, guide you through how the device operates, and ensure everything is running exactly as required before leaving. If your wound needs further treatment, they are equipped to perform debridement or other essential care. You receive clinic level service while staying in your own home.
