What Types of Wounds Need Negative Pressure Wound Therapy?

1. Chronic Non-Healing Wounds – Diabetic foot ulcers and pressure sores that fail to heal with standard care often require NPWT to restart the healing process.

2. Deep or Large Open Wounds – Wounds with significant depth or tissue loss benefit from suction that promotes granulation and faster closure.

3. Surgical Wounds at Risk of Complications – Post-surgical wounds with swelling, drainage, or infection risk heal better with NPWT support.

4. Traumatic Injuries – Open fractures, severe cuts, crush injuries, and burns use NPWT to control fluid, reduce infection, and protect healing tissue.

5. Infected or High-Drainage Wounds – Wounds producing heavy fluid or bacteria need NPWT to remove contaminants and create a cleaner healing environment.
