INTRODUCTION
***To Study the Efficacy of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in various types of Wounds at IGMC Shimla
Acute and chronic wounds pose a continual challenge in medicine since its treatment is variable and there are no documented consistent responses. Negative pressure wound therapy provides a new alternative that may promote faster wound healing with less painful dressing change. Also known as VAC (Vacuum assisted closure) it provides sub atmospheric pressure through medical grade polyurethane, polyvinyl alcohol or collagen base foam dressing that is fitted at the bed side to the appropriate size of each wound creating an air tight seal and providing continuous or intermittent negative pressure. The machine creates sub atmospheric pressure at the wound site which is evenly distributed to the entire wound surface. NPWT can heal wounds faster than regular dressings, is simple to use and the results are good and consistent.
