Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is transforming how wound care is delivered. By applying controlled suction to the wound site, NPWT removes excess fluid, reduces swelling, and promotes healthy tissue regeneration. At AWC, our certified wound care specialists bring NPWT directly to your home, making advanced healing more accessible and more comfortable. If you're looking for a modern solution to support recovery, NPWT is a powerful tool we use to accelerate results and minimize complications.
How Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Works
NPWT is a non-invasive technique that gently applies vacuum pressure to a wound through a sealed dressing. This controlled suction removes drainage and bacteria, reduces swelling, and creates an environment that supports faster healing. Since its introduction in the mid-90s, NPWT has become a trusted method for managing both acute and chronic wounds. AWC utilizes portable NPWT systems so patients can receive consistent, expert care in the comfort of home without disrupting their daily lives.
What Are the Benefits of NPWT?
NPWT offers a number of benefits that make it a go-to treatment for complex wounds. From improving circulation to minimizing infection risks, this therapy supports the body’s natural healing process while keeping patients comfortable and mobile. Here are just a few reasons AWC recommends NPWT when appropriate:
Accelerates Healing Time– NPWT increases blood flow and stimulates tissue formation, helping wounds close more quickly compared to conventional treatments.
Reduces Infection Risk– By removing excess fluids and bacteria, NPWT maintains a cleaner wound environment and lowers the risk of complications.
Decreases Swelling and Edema– The vacuum effect helps reduce fluid buildup, which relieves pressure and supports the body’s healing response.
Enhances Patient Comfort– Modern NPWT devices are lightweight, discreet, and easy to manage, giving patients freedom and peace of mind throughout recovery.
Improves the Wound Environment– NPWT maintains optimal moisture and temperature levels, supporting faster healing and minimizing the chance of scarring.
