When used for wound management, NPWT delivers sub atmospheric pressure at the wound site which exerts multiple beneficial effects. Sub atmospheric pressure causes micro strain on cells which can stimulate them to divide. This concept is being studied in the developing field of mechanobiology, which connects the fields of biology, engineering, and physics. Mechanical or physical forces can induce m...
