GATA Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System

The use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) systems has been shown to promote wound healing. Negative pressure removes excess fluid and exudate from the wound and thereby sustains an optimum moist environment, helps control bacterial burden and restores microcirculation by decreasing interstitial pressure.1 NPWT has also been shown to stimulate cells involved in the healing process and furthermore has been suggested to induce endothelial progenitor cell mobilization in diabetic patients with foot infections.
