Negative Pressure Wound Therapy: Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT), also known as a vacuum assisted closure (VAC), is a therapeutic technique using a suction pump, tubing and a dressing to remove excess exudate and promote healing in acute or chronic wounds and second- and third-degree burns. The therapy involves the controlled application of subatmospheric pressure to the local wound environment, using a sealed wound dressing connected to a vacuum pump. The use of this technique in wound management increased dramatically over the 1990s and 2000s and a large number of studies have been published examining NPWT. NPWT has many indications for use including:
Dehisced Surgical Wounds
Closed Surgical Wounds
Pressure Injuries or Pressure Ulcers
Diabetic Foot Ulcers ( DFU)
Venous Insufficiency Ulcers
Skin flaps and grafts
Management of the open abdomen (laparotomy)
