F& @A myHSteam Member. I too had a skin graph. I used the wound vac machine. What a terrible experience. It healed in 3 weeks. But the inconvenience of carrying and sleeping with that thing 24/7 is not fun at all. And because mine are in the buttocks/groin area many times while sitting the tube would come lose. I believe I went to the ER 3 times behind that. Not a fun experience by no means.
