ASSOCIATIVE INNOVATION FOR
NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND
THERAPY (NPWT)

2. ASSOCIATIVE INNOVATION FOR NEGATIVE
PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY (NPWT)
• Introduction: The use of NPWT is well
known world wide. Unfortunately the
different devices are not available for all
the countries and sometimes, the cost of
this treatment can be high.
• Aim: To evaluate the efficiency of the
NPWT when associated with different
dressings, current techniques and other
technologies performed, focusing the
reduction of costs.

3. ASSOCIATIVE INNOVATION FOR NEGATIVE
PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY (NPWT)
• Method: Association of a rinse solution instilled
on the line of the NPWT device immediately
before the dressing remove. Utilization of
different types of sealant (glue) during the
procedure and association of silver dressing.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy at least ten
sessions.
• Result: All the association promotes the
resolution of infection, protect the new
granulation tissue during the changes, improve
the quality of the granulation tissue and increase
the time between the changing of the dressing.

PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY (NPWT)
• Conclusion: Increasing the efficiency of
the infection treatment, development a
granulation tissue of better quality and
increasing durability of the dressing.
The time of treatment diminished and all
these effects contributed in a reduction
of the costs.
