Abstract
Summary:Negative pressure wound therapy with instillation-dwell (NPWTi-d) is the natural evolution of NPWT. This therapy combines the benefits of instillation with negative pressure. Advancements in the drape and the foam dressing has further advanced the utility of this therapy for use in orthopaedic trauma wounds. The technique for drape application plays an important role in maximizing the benefits of NPWTi-d. This article provides tips and guidance to ensure a proper dressing seal and other helpful instructions to maximize the benefits of NPWTi-d.
