ExtriCARE Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) is a medical treatment that uses a vacuum-like device to help heal difficult wounds. This therapy involves placing a special dressing over the wound and connecting it to a portable vacuum pump. The pump creates negative pressure, which removes excess fluid and promotes blood flow, speeding up the healing process.

It can treat various wounds, including chronic wounds, acute wounds, and surgical incisions. It is particularly effective for diabetes foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous leg ulcers. Additionally, it can help treat infected wounds by removing bacteria and debris.
