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.

Benefits of using NPWT especially KCI product
A wound vacuum device removes this pressure over the area of
the wound. This can help a wound heal in several ways. It can
gently pull fluid from the wound over time. This can reduce
swelling, and may help clean the wound and remove bacteria. A
wound VAC also helps pull the edges of the wound together.
And it may stimulate the growth of new tissue that helps the wound close.

A wound vacuum system may help your wound heal more
quickly by: Draining excess fluid from the wound
