If your doctor agrees that NPWT is the right fit for your wound, the wound will be packed with a special dressing and sealed so it’s airtight. A suction tube connects to the outside of the dressing then to a vacuum pump that will provide suction to remove liquid from the wound and help it heal.
As a NPWT patient at Williams Bros., we work in tandem with your home healthcare nurse who will visit your home when your dressing needs to be changed. You can also have your dressing changed at a wound care center or your doctor’s office.
