Negative pressure wound therapy is widely used in the treatment of open wounds to promote wound healing. It has several benefits such as shortening healing time and preventing infectious complications. Negative pressure wound therapy, also called “wound vac” or “NPWT,” provides an ideal and clean environment to promote wound healing in acute traumatic wounds or chronic wounds such as diabetic ulcers and bed sores.

Negative pressure wound therapy uses suction, tubing, and wound dressing to remove excess exudate and any infectious material that may be present in the wound. It facilitates blood flow to the wound and growth of new healthy tissue.

Offering significant clinical benefits for large, chronic wounds and acute, complicated wounds, negative pressure wound therapy is used by widely used by medical professional and wound care specialists to foster wound healing and improve outcome.
