  • Peco offers negative pressure also known as rac.

    Apparently it is supposed to help heal a wound by pulling it together. I’ve looked online and it looks like a normal dressing but with a battery operated electrical pulse. it’s about the size of an ipod and is detachable when showering as not waterproof. It fits into a pocket or on waistband so fully portable. 

    the dressing is then changed every 3 days.
