Our user asked: "what are your thoughts of ace wrapping an AKA with full thickness wound on the distal end of the stump and with wound vac intact?"

Ask a PT Response: "Spoke with a colleague of mine who works with wounds and he is not a big fan of that idea. The wound vac should be allowed the freedom to work by using negative pressure which may be inhibited with compression from an ace wrap."
