AbstractThe use of topical negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) has become increasingly popular in the management of complex wounds. There are many theories as to the mechanism of action of NPWT, but the essential components of the various systems remain consistent. There are many attractive potential properties of negative pressure dressings that lend themselves to the management of upper limb injuries. This article explores the technique of negative pressure wound dressing, the theories pertaining to mechanism of action, and the increasingly broad indications described for the use of NPWT in the hand. The literature pertaining to the efficacy of NPWT in general is also discussed.
