NPT is part of the daily management of complex wounds with delayed healing. It is essential in 2018 to understand the mechanisms of action of the various machines available on the wound market in France. In order to put the right indication for a defined clinical problem to know the difference between fixed and heavy techniques, imposing immobilization of the patient due to the need for a permanent connection and the simpler, ambulatory techniques that combine effective negative pressure while allowing a better quality of life. The recent contribution of the instillation has completed the offer by opening the possibility of instilling in the wound variable liquids in their composition and their effect. The recent introduction of a new foam also suggests the possibility of cleaning the wound with a tool hitherto reserved for the promotion of granulation tissue.
