A member asked:
What will happen to my wound if my wound vac hasn't pulled any drainage out of my wound in over 24 hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing: Your wound vac serves multiple purposes, only one of which is to drain fluid if it is present. Just because there is no fluid does not mean it is not working properly.
