So with the huge holes that I have in my ankle there was talk of doing skin grafts and all that but the wound specialist came in and has decided to use a wound vacc on my ankle. The idea and purpose is they pack the wound with a sponge and then put a plastic material over the entire area to create a vacuum lock and create suction on the wound which will pull all fluids away from the wound and also give the stimulation to the wound to help encourage growth of the skin to fill in the holes. Similar to what they use leeches for from time to time in medical procedures.
