Unlike traditional dressings, NPWT offers a dynamic approach to wound healing, focusing on creating the ideal environment for tissue repair.

At its core, NPWT involves applying a controlled vacuum to a wound. A specialized dressing is placed over the wound, which is then connected to a pump that gently draws out excess fluid and bacteria.
