A battery-powered, reusable negative-pressure wound therapy system is a portable device used to treat chronic or traumatic open wounds and ulcers. By applying controlled suction to the wound site, the system helps improve local circulation, encourages the growth of new tissue, and assists in drawing wound edges together to promote healing.
These systems typically include a vacuum pump, a collection canister for fluids, and tubing to connect the device to the patient's dressing. Because the pump unit is designed for repeated use, it is often supplied with a carrying bag to allow patients to remain mobile while receiving treatment.
