NPWT Or VAC
Using Negative Pressure for Positive Wound Healing.
How does it work?
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
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.
