The therapy depends on sterile closing of the acute or chronic wounds and application of homogeneously distributed negative pressure inside the wound bed.
Effectiveness of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
It enables accelerated wound healing through controlled vacuum which removes infection and exudate from the wound bed. Accelerated wound healing provides cost effectiveness by early discharge of patients.
