Abstract

Advanced wound management using Negative Pressure Therapy (NPT) has emerged as a revolutionary approach in the care of complex and chronic wounds. NPT, also known as Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), employs subatmospheric pressure to promote wound healing. This review explores the epidemiology and significance of advanced wound management, provides a theoretical framework for understanding NPT, discusses its application in different clinical scenarios, outlines potential complications, and highlights its management strategies. The evidence suggests that NPT is a valuable tool in modern wound care, but its application should be guided by a comprehensive understanding of patient needs and the wound's characteristics. Ultimately, NPT offers promising results for wound management, provided it is integrated into a holistic care approach.
