Wound Vac Care at Home in Washington Heights
Convenient mobile wound vac management for pressure wounds at any stage and for diabetic foot ulcers and venous leg ulcers.
What is Wound Vac Care?
Wound vac care uses gentle suction to encourage hard to heal wounds to recover more quickly and securely. A soft dressing rests inside the wound, a clear film seals the area thoroughly, and a small portable pump extracts excess fluid to maintain a clean, safeguarded, and well supported environment. This technique is known to be effective for pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and venous leg ulcers.
At NYC Wound, our team arrives with the entire setup and offers consistent care right in your home in Washington Heights, helping the healing process feel more manageable, peaceful, and comfortable.

What To Expect During Your Wound Vac At-Home Appointments
Our Wound Care Specialists visit your home to handle the entire wound vac setup and treatment process in a setting that feels familiar and comfortable. After your call, our Care Coordinator arranges your visit and matches you with a clinician experienced in addressing pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, and venous leg ulcers.
During the appointment inside your Washington Heights home, the specialist examines the wound, prepares the wound bed, and applies the required dressing and seal for the wound vac system. They assess the pump, walk you through how it works, and make sure every component is functioning correctly before leaving. If your wound needs further assistance, they are ready to perform debridement or additional care steps. You receive detailed and attentive treatment right inside your home.
