In the interim Ive been calling him Buddy. Phil was another suggestion.
Learned something new today. I'm going to have a wound vacuum. Im still laughing at the thought of it. Apparently its to create negative pressure around the surgical injury to promote healing & adhesion of yet another round of donor tissue. Like a space bag only different.
Can't you just use a ziploc bag and a siphon hose?Quote:

I?ve had to quickly scroll past the photo you posted so I don?t get nauseous.
Hope you heal up well.

I've had one on my back for my last spinal surgery. The most irritating thing about it was the noise from the pump, IMO. No fluid ever was drawn through the vacuum line, but the incision healed amazingly well.Quote:

What were you afflicted with? Injury?
Looks like a trauma chest seal to me but I think they want to pressure graduate so I need a fancy device. Apparently they aren't inexpensive but do balance out costs over the long term.Quote:
