Negative pressure wound therapy(NPWT), sometimes referred to as topical negative pressure therapy or vacuum-assisted wound closure, is an emerging advanced wound management technology that is being utilized in the treatment of both acute and chronic wounds. The treatment entails using a vacuum that exerts negative pressure on a wound, where the force is applied away from the body, through a sealed dressing. The market for devices that can perform the treatment, including stand-alone devices, portable devices, disposable devices, and canisters, is expected to grow steadily through 2021.
