The wound vac really does work wonders, especially for a deep or tunneling wound. The main thing is to keep a good seal over the wound. The location of the wound has a lot to do with it. I had a sore at the top of my butt crack once. Because of the irregular surface we were never able to get a really secure seal. It was a tremendous help on other wounds though.
