Contract Title: Procurement of 21 V.A.C. Therapy units with V.A.C. Veraflow Therapy
Purpose: The purpose of this SOW is to request and justify the replacement of 21 VAC Ulta Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Units. This equipment is essential for providing continuous NPWT to patients with complex wounds requiring advanced healing support.
Background: We are purchasing 21 new V.A.C. Therapy units to replace 20 end of life Wound Vacs. The current wound Vacs can only be serviced for 7 years. After that time, Solventum no longer provides Preventive Maintenance, cleaning, and replacement parts. The V.A.C Ulta Therapy Units provide negative pressure wound therapy and are vital for Hines VA Hospital day-to-day operations in wound management therapy.
Situation: Wound vacs play a very important role in wound healing, especially for large, deep wounds.  The negative pressure they create at the wound bed help to stabilize the wound environment, reduces wound edema and bacterial load, collect wound exudate, improves tissue perfusion, and stimulates granulation tissue and angiogenesis.  Indications for use include, but are not limited to, pressure injuries, diabetic foot ulcers, traumatic wounds, skin graft fixation, flap salvage, burns, crush injuries, sternal/abdominal wound dehiscence and fasciotomy wounds. The services that frequently use this wound treatment option include, Wound Care, Surgery, Podiatry and Vascular. The use of wound vacs also helps to reduce the need for costly reconstructive surgery. Â
Without wound vacs as a treatment option, Veterans would incur much longer healing times as well as longer inpatient length of stay. There will be a higher potential for skin graft and surgical flap failure. Â All of which will lead to increased cost of treatment for wound healing.
Scope: Procure new V.A.C. Therapy Unit to replace units that are nearing End or Life . Ensure compatibility with existing consumables and therapy components. Deliver replacement units to multiple areas throughout the hospital and return old units for possible trade-in credit.
