A novel option in negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for chronic and acute wound care

After a long period of preserving a monopoly market position of the V.A.C.™ system, a new comparable option was successfully tested in this preliminary study. The polyurethane foam-based NPWT system (RENASYS GO™ - F/P, Smith & Nephew GmbH) is an efficient and cost-effective alternative NPWT system, which we effectively implemented in therapeutic management of different kinds of wounds.
