The lack of standardized wound therapy methods and care contributes to unnecessarily long treatment and healing times. In addition, these factors contribute to excessively high costs borne by patients and health plans. Various new technologies and discoveries are bringing to patients the ability to work with their doctors to get wounds under control with pneumatics.

Hyperbaric Oyxgen Therapy for Wound Healing (HBO2)
Oxygen is one of the most versatile and powerful agents available to the modern medical device manufacturers. The therapeutic use of oxygen under pressure has been used to assist wound healing for almost 40 years. HBO2 provides pharmacological doses of oxygen to stimulate the tissue, thereby promoting a much quicker healing process.

Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT)
Negative-pressure wound therapy is a therapeutic technique using a vacuum source that creates continuous or intermittent negative pressure inside the wound to remove fluid, exudates, and infectious materials to prepare the wound for healing and closure.

�ǳ�web has been successfully partnering with progressive companies in the design and development of innovative pneumatic solutions for both stationary and portable non-invasive topical wound therapy equipment.
