What this lot covers

NPWT is widely utilized to promote wound closure by secondary intention, effectively removing exudate and encouraging granulation tissue formation, which supports cell proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis. Additionally, NPWT may be employed to reduce the risk of surgical wound dehiscence in patients identified at risk.
