What Is Wound Vacuum Therapy?

‍Wound vacuum therapy, also known as negative pressure wound therapy, uses controlled suction to promote healing of complex wounds. This advanced treatment removes fluid, reduces infection risk, and stimulates tissue growth in wounds that are difficult to heal with conventional methods.

Why is wound vacuum therapy effective?

• Faster healing: Promotes granulation tissue formation.
• Infection control: Removes bacteria and wound fluid.
• Reduced dressing changes: Decreases disruption to healing.

Best uses for wound vacuum therapy

• Diabetic foot ulcers.
• Surgical wound complications.
• Pressure injuries (bedsores).
