Using Negative Pressure for Positive Wound Healing.

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses negative pressure to heal wounds. It is a safe and effective treatment for especially chronic wounds.

NPWT works by creating a negative pressure environment in the wound bed. This

  • Removes excess fluid and debris.

  • Increases blood flow to the wound

  • Encourages the growth of new tissue

NPWT systems typically consist of a dressing, a tubing, and a pump. The dressing is placed over the wound and sealed with an adhesive. The tubing connects the dressing to the pump, which creates the vacuum.

The pump delivers a continuous or intermittent vacuum to your exudate. The amount of vacuum pressure is also adjustable.
