Portable Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Leading to Rapid Resolution of Pain Associated with Poorly Healing Wounds of the Lower Limbs

Menzies S, McGrath E, Ormond P, Barry R

Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has been in use for over 15 years. It has been shown to promote granulation tissue and stimulate angiogenesis thereby improving wound healing. Traditionally NPWT is bulky making it use in the outpatient setting a challenge. A portable negative pressure wound system has been developed, facilitating its use in the outpatient setting. We present 4 cases highlighting our experience with portable NPWT. Rapid resolution of pain was observed in ¾ cases following the application of portable Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). We believe portable NPWT is a valuable therapeutic option in the management of painful chronic wounds.
