Description
In this module we explore the physics behind negative pressure wound therapy. Some of the key questions we will explore include how negative pressure is created and delivered to the wound bed, and how changes in pressure lead to fluid removal.
Finally, we explore several of the clever adaptations that have been made to negative pressure wound therapy systems to enhance their function.
