Authors' objectives:
To assess the efficacy/effectiveness, safety, and costeffectiveness of negative pressure wound therapy (Renasys Go) for wound healing.
Authors' recommendations:
There was good level of evidence retrieved to show that negative pressure wound therapy was effective to
accelerate wound healing in diabetic foot. However, negative pressure wound therapy for other wounds such as
pressure ulcer, venous leg ulcer, necrotising fasciitis, grafts and burn were inconclusive and require more high quality evidence. While considering other costs involved and hospital stay, the NPWT may be cost-effective compared to conventional method. However, adverse events related to NPWT must be taking into consideration while practicing the therapy. Besides, homemade NPWT compared to commercial one may reduce the cost.
