The vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) device causes microdeformations of the wound Surface in contact with the foam Because angiogenesis and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity are altered in chronic wounds, we hypothesized that microdeformations stimulate capillary formation and affect MMP activity. A VAC device was used to deliver microdeformational Wound therapy (MDWT) to the chronic wounds of 3 debilitated patients. Debrided tissue was obtained from Wound areas with and without foam contact. Microvessel density and MMP activity were determined by immunohistochemistry and zymography, respectively. Microvessel density of MDWT-treated wounds was 4.5% (+/- 0.8) compared with areas not covered by foam [1.6% (+/- 0.1)] (P = 0.05) during the first week of treatment and 2.7% (+/- 0.3) compared With untreated tissue [1.3% (+/- 0.1)] (P = 0.03) during the second treatment week. Wounds subjected to MDWT had greater microvessel density compared with the same wound prior to treatment [1.5% (+/- 0.3)] (P = 0.02). MMP-9/NGAL (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin), MMP-9, latent MMP-2. and active MMP-2 were reduced by 15%-76% in MDWT-treated wounds. MDWT provides a favorable wound-healing environment by increasing angiogenesis and decreasing MMP activity in chronic wounds.
