Purpose of the device

Your healthcare provider has prescribed Negative Pressure
Wound Therapy ( NPWT ) for you.
Negative Pressure Wound Therapy has been shown to help pro-
mote healing in several different kinds of wounds. Negative pres-
sure (suction) is delivered to a wound through a pump. The suc-
tion, or negative pressure, helps to remove fluid and close your
wound. Your healthcare professional will place a special dressing
on your wound and a tube will go from your wound to the canis-
ter on the pump. The pump is then turned on to the prescribed
pressure to remove the fluid from your wound. The fluid then
goes into the canister. The treatment will be on 24 hours a day.
