NPWT

NPWT, or Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, is a treatment that uses a special machine to apply gentle, controlled suction to a wound through a sealed foam or gauze dressing. This negative pressure helps remove excess fluids, reduce swelling, promote blood flow, and encourage tissue growth. It creates an optimal environment for the wound to heal more efficiently and can be used for complex or slow-healing wounds. The therapy is typically managed by healthcare professionals and may involve a portable device, allowing patients to continue daily activities during treatment.
