Abstract

Background: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is an intensely investigated topic, but its mechanism of action accounts for one of the least understood ones in the area of wound healing. Apart from a misleading nomenclature, by far the most used diagnostic tool to investigate NPWT, the laser Doppler, also has its weaknesses regarding the detection of changes in blood flow and velocity.
