So, it's been 7 weeks of daily wound care. As I was taking off the morning bandage thick greenish yellow gunk leaked out. The surgeon ordered some sort of vacuum-assisted closure device. Does anyone know anything or have any experience with this device? Thanks, Lynne

If you mean the Prevena device, my surgeon used it on my double mastectomy incisions 6 weeks ago. I had radiation in 2010. It did work for me, I hope that you will get help from it.
