Negative Pressure Wound Therapy & Advanced Dressings at Home
Chronic & Complex Wound Care, Without the Trip to a Clinic
Some chronic and complex wounds need more than a standard bandage. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) uses a sealed dressing connected to a small portable pump that applies gentle suction to the wound. Advanced dressings — foams, alginates, hydrocolloids and similar materials — are chosen to manage moisture and protect the wound bed.
When your physician and care plan call for these treatments, our licensed clinicians provide them in your home: applying and changing NPWT dressings, checking the device, selecting appropriate advanced dressings, and monitoring the wound at every visit. Every plan is coordinated with your physician.
NPWT & Advanced Dressing FAQs
What is negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT)?
NPWT is a wound treatment that uses a sealed dressing and a small pump to apply gentle, controlled suction to a wound. It is used for certain chronic and complex wounds when a physician orders it as part of the care plan.
Can NPWT be managed at home?
Yes. Portable NPWT devices are designed for use at home. Our clinicians handle dressing changes and wound checks during home visits and coordinate with your physician on the plan.
Is NPWT covered by Medicare?
Coverage depends on your plan and clinical need, and we review it with you before care begins.
