Abstract

Negative pressure wound therapy has revolutionised the way in which acute and chronic wounds are treated. The incision site is usually covered with an occlusive or semi occlusive covering after primary wound closure. It is thought that using closed incisional negative pressure wound therapy on surgical wounds improves wound healing by better distribution of shear stresses on wound edges and promoting the evacuation of wound fluids such as subcutaneous seroma and hematoma.
