A Bacolod City -based orthopedist has developed a cheaper local version of a vacuum-assisted closure, a device that can help severe wounds such as those sustained in accidents heal faster.According to the Game Changer segment of Monday’s 24 Oras, vacuum-assisted closure devices that use pressure to close wounds and stimulate tissue growth cost from P200,000 to P300,000.The Aquavac , developed by orthopedic Dr. Kim Jingo , is a locally made version of the vacuum-assisted closure.
“Ang ginagawa niya, Number 1, because may vacuum siyempre nagko-collapse yung foam, yung sugat parang nagshi-shrink din ng konti so lumiliit ng lumiliit yung sugat. We compared it sa US na brand. And yung study nagpapakita na pareho lang yung effect niya,” Jingo said.Jingco’s device has so far saved the arm of a bus accident survivor who was at risk of losing it.
