Urgent Need #1 - Wound VAC Accessories

At this stage of the post quake battle, chronic wound management consumed a significant portion of our resources.  The clinical and economic benefits of VAC (Vacuum Assisted Closure) Therapy, also known as NPWT (Negative Pressure Wound Therapy) are widely known. Under negative pressure, VAC Therapy with GranuFoam Dressings applies mechanical forces to the wound to create an environment that promotes wound healing.  You can read more about the technology here if you're so inclined.
It would be wonderful if a volunteer could procure one of the actual VAC ATS units pictured below, but that's probably wishful thinking.
At the very least, I know that Scott would appreciate getting some of the replacement canisters pictured below...
in addition to as many of the standard dressings kits that can be transported.
