Negatieve-druktherapie

Negatieve-druktherapie: een therapeutische behandeling waarbij door een pomp voortdurend lucht en vocht wordt weggezogen uit de wond

Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a therapeutic technique using a vacuum dressing to promote healing in acute or chronic wounds and enhance healing of second and third degree burns. The therapy involves the controlled application of sub-atmospheric pressure to the local wound environment,[1][2] using a sealed wound dressing connected to a vacuum pump.[3][4] The use of this technique in wound management increased dramatically over the 1990s and 2000s[5] and a large number of studies have been published examining NPWT.[6] NPWT appears to be useful for diabetic ulcers[7] and management of the open abdomen (laparotomy)[8] but further research is required for other wound types.[9]
