Restoring a life with advanced wound care: Sylvia’s story
May 16, 2025 | Read time: 2 min
Sylvia’s life changed in an instant when a 100-foot pine tree crashed into her car. That moment marked the beginning of a long road filled with surgeries, an extended hospital stay, intensive wound care therapies and, ultimately, healing.
Her recovery took medical expertise, advanced medical technology and, above all, her will to keep going.
“I thought I was going to die,” Sylvia recalls. “But a month later I woke up from a medically induced coma, and I was still here.”
Sylvia faced numerous surgeries and a difficult healing process. Her care team used advanced wound care solutions like 3M™ V.A.C.® Therapy to support recovery and protection of her surgical sites, helping her begin a new chapter in her life.
