Abstract
We now commonly use Negative Pressure Therapy (NPWT) as an adjunct to care in a variety of circumstances. In the management of wounds, ulcers or sores of varying size and with such a degree of secretions, exudate, oozing that the correct use of common dressing devices is not possible. Over time, this therapeutic choice has seen an important evolution in clinical indications and technology aimed at achieving an effective and consistent result.
