Superior outcomes with sNPWT compared to tNPWT in lower extremity ulcersAccredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England
Superior outcomes with single use NPWT compared to traditional NPWT in lower extremity ulcers
A randomised controlled trial (RCT) compared PICO◊ Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System (sNPWT) to traditional NPWT (tNPWT) for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) and venous leg ulcers (VLUs).
Surprisingly sNPWT was shown to be superior to tNPWT in a range of clinical endpoints.
We present the results of the RCT and new research to understand the mode of action to explain why sNPWT is superior to tNPWT.
