Abstract
Negative pressure therapy is gradually taking an increasingly important role in the treatment of chronic wound healing because
of its simple application in hospital or outpatient setting and good comfort with no pain for the patient. Chronic wound
healing is accelerated in comparison with other conservative treatments. The level of negative pressure is between 40 and
125 mm Hg below ambient. Direct and indirect effect of the negative pressure therapy helps in wound healing and provides
good preparation for definitive surgical management of wounds.
