Wound Vac PCS coding

We are currently moving forward with our ICD 10 education and we are dual coding. For those of you doing the same; how are you, or your coders, coding negative pressure wound therapy (aka wound vac)? It doesn't seem to fully make sense in the drainage tables or the placement/packing (2W4) table, as it drains, infuses, and promotes wound healing. It seems to be its own entity.
Thanks,
Cheree
