The Principle of WEC Therapy

VistaCare enables you to choose the right treatment at the right time thanks to the WEC technology.

The WEC (Wound Environment Controlled) concept acts on the atmosphere around the wound that is placed uncovered (without dressing) inside the chamber. Controlling the environment favors each stage of the healing process.

Inside the chamber, each one of the environmental parameters is regulated, thus optimizing each of the physiological healing stages.

Wounds Treated with VistaCare - Indications for VistaCare Technology

A wound is a break in the skin which can subsequently be distinguished as an acute or chronic wound depending on the duration and cause of formation.

Our VistaCare device is developed to support all types of complex wounds regardless of their class (acute or chronic) and their etiologies (of venous, arterial or mixed origins, diabetic foot wounds, and bedsores).

What is an Acute Wound?

The acute wound is linked to an external or therapeutic trauma, it appears suddenly and heals in a period of time respecting the usual scarring process. Several acute wounds exist such as surgical wounds (post-operative), traumatic wounds (such as cuts, bites, or frostbite), burns, and graft takes.

What is a Chronic Wound?

Unlike acute wounds, chronic wounds are generally not caused by external trauma. They are the result of an underlying disease such as vascular disorders or uncontrolled diabetes.

The healing period is therefore lengthened due to a failure or an obstruction of the healing mechanisms.

Healing chronic wounds can be tedious and complicated.

Depending on the underlying disease, there are different types of chronic wounds such as:

Doctor Testimonial

The management of wounds, both acute and chronic, still remains a challenge that can lead to a long treatment sometimes fraught with failure. VistaCare offers an innovative and relatively simple therapeutic solution (WEC therapy). The results of a scientific study carried out in three centers have proved the effectiveness of this therapy on wounds which had very diverse origins (acute, vascular, burns, sickle cell disease, etc.). These encouraging results have led several teams to offer WEC therapy as first-line as well as regular wound treatment with equally positive feedback confirming the first study.

Patient Testimonial

I voluntarily went to Marseille in the department of Prof. Dominique Casanova, where the device was being tested. I had nothing more to lose. My leg remained in the chamber for fourteen days. I have been grafted skin again. The healing process was complete five months later. VistaCare Medical allowed me to regain the use of my leg and my job.
