Frequently Asked Questions

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is an advanced wound care treatment that uses a vacuum dressing to promote healing in acute or chronic wounds. The vacuum applies gentle suction to the wound bed, drawing out excess fluid, reducing swelling, and stimulating the growth of new tissue.

The frequency of dressing changes depends on the type and severity of your wound, as well as the treatment being used. Your wound care team will establish a schedule tailored to your specific needs, which may range from daily to weekly visits.

Signs of infection to watch for include increased redness, swelling, warmth around the wound, foul odor, drainage, or fever. If you experience any of these symptoms, contact your wound care team immediately.

Healing time varies depending on wound size, location, underlying health conditions, and treatment approach. Your team will monitor progress closely and adjust treatment as needed to optimize healing.
