Although my expertise is not in wound care, indeed I have.  In particular, wound vacs are frequently used on deep wounds, ulcerated wounds, pressure wounds, diabetic wounds, and other various types of chronic non-healing wounds.  Word of warning, do NOT accidentally pull one out, while performing more traditional functional therapy activities, or else have several Nurses focus their wrath at you

Yes, though as I said, I haven't used it in such a way, but I'm aware of its use in wound care

I'm your more standard functional therapist.  I focus on functional activities, balance, strengthning, safety, energy conservation.  I'm generally on the Orthopedic Floor, but I evaluate patients thru-out the hospital.  My oldest patient was a very spry and active 105year old.  My youngest "patient" was a 1day old.
