Citation Negative pressure wound therapy for wounds other than sternal wounds and skin grafts. Lansdale: HAYES, Inc.. Directory Publication. 2012 Authors' conclusions Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a treatment for acute, subacute, and chronic wounds that involves the application of subatmospheric pressure to the open wound with the goal of creating a controlled, closed wound amenable to surgical closure, grafting, or healing by secondary intention. NPWT is intended as an adjunct treatment for wounds that are refractory to standard treatment.
