In recent 20 years, the technology of negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has been widely used in the field of wound repair. Basic research and clinical application have proved that NPWT plays a positive role in regulating wound repair in many aspects. Compared with the previous 10 years, NPWT has made great progress in the last 10 years in negative pressure materials or equipment, as well as in the use method, mechanism research, and clinical application strategy. Strict and accurate grasp of the clinical application indication of NPWT and scientific application of NPWT to regulate the microenvironment of wound healing, effective improvement of the healing quality of different types of wounds, and further improve the level of wound repair are the core principles of the normative use of NPWT.
