Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT / wound vac)

Overview

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), also known as Wound VAC, is an advanced treatment that uses controlled suction to optimize the wound environment. It removes excess fluid, reduces swelling, and promotes tissue regeneration. NIVA Health provides this therapy directly at the patient’s bedside, minimizing hospital visits while maintaining continuous care.

What It Is

A sealed dressing is applied to the wound, creating continuous or intermittent negative pressure. This improves the healing environment and accelerates granulation tissue formation. NPWT is ideal for chronic, post-surgical, and traumatic wounds.

Why It’s Important

Excess fluid and swelling slow healing and increase infection risk. NPWT improves blood flow and oxygenation, supporting tissue repair and faster wound closure.

• Faster wound closure and tissue regeneration
