Good pressure makes for better wound closure

Chronic wounds can profoundly impact the lives of patients – limiting mobility, causing pain and diminishing quality of life. For many, these wounds represent not just a physical challenge but an emotional and psychological burden as well. Thankfully, advancements in medical technology like single use and portative Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (sNPWT), are changing the narrative in acute and community settings. Dr Hajnal Gabriela Illes, infectious diseases physician and EWMA member, explains why the technology could be such a gamechanger for hard-to-heal wounds.
