Purpose of the Device
Your healthcare provider has prescribed Negative
Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) for you.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy has been shown to
help promote healing in several different kinds of
wounds. Negative pressure (suction) is delivered to a
wound through a pump. The suction, or negative pres-
sure, helps to remove fluid and close your wound. Your
healthcare professional will place a special dressing on
your wound and a tube will go from your wound to the
canister on the pump. The pump is then turned on to
the prescribed pressure to remove the fluid from your
wound. The fluid then goes into the canister. The treat-
ment will be applied 24 hours a day.
