Overview
Negative pressure wound therapy is a generally accepted method of treating septic or secreting wounds. In contrast to that, postoperative application of negative pressure wound therapy to primarily closed surgical wounds is referred to as closed-incision negative-pressure wound therapy (Ci-NPWT). According to available sources, wounds after prophylactic application of Ci-NPWT show lower complication rates, especially wound infections, and dehiscence. The literature confirms that the Ci-NPWT technique improves healing of all surgical wounds, both septic and aseptic.
