According to research, wounds treated with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) can heal significantly faster than those with traditional dressings. The term “vaccum**ed** dressing” is a common layperson’s term for this medical procedure, known as vacuum-assisted closure (V.A.C.) or NPWT, which uses controlled suction to promote wound healing.

Restrata is not a pharmacological medication, but a medical device; this synthetic electrospun fiber matrix mimics the human extracellular matrix to promote the body's natural healing process in various types of wounds. Developed by Acera Surgical, it offers a versatile solution for complex and chronic wounds that may not respond to traditional treatments.
