Core Tip The application of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in arthroplasty has generated much interest. Its proposed mechanisms of action include macrodeformation and microdeformation of the wound bed, fluid removal, and stabilization of the wound environment. There is little evidence to support the use of NPWT as an adjunctive treatment for surgical wound drainage. However, there appears to be strong clinical evidence for the prophylactic use of NPWT after arthroplasty in patients that are at high risk for postoperative wound drainage. Several clinical trials involving single-use NPWT devices for this purpose are currently in progress.
