Over the past two decades, the application of “negative pressure” has evolved into a cornerstone in the treatment of acute and chronic wounds in almost all specialties. Continuous, Intermittent, and cyclic are the three types of Negative-pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). The cyclic NPWT system is similar to the intermittent mode in terms of using the same maximal sub-atmospheric pressure, but the pressure never reaches zero in the cyclic mode. Cyclic application of “negative pressure” results in a superior local enhancement of cutaneous microcirculation with regard to blood flow and consecutive tissue oxygenation. This articlehighlightsrole of the role of cyclic negative pressure wound therapy in scalp burn wounds.
