Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
Some wounds need extra support to heal. Negative Pressure Wound Therapy, also called NPWT, uses a small pump and a sealed dressing to gently remove fluid from a wound.
Lumia Care nurses can provide NPWT as part of wound care at home. We monitor your wound, support your comfort and work with your treating team to help your recovery.
