Suggested Clinical Protocols

Clinical protocols are vital for safe and effective use of Wound RX Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT).  Most medical facilities have protocols in place for general wound care treatments, however NPWT may not specifically be explained.  For this reason, Wound RX is providing a comprehensive set of guidelines, designed to augment clinicians’ knowledge of this specialized therapy, and grow facilities’ preexisting protocols.  These guidelines have been shaped and reviewed by the ATMOS NPWT Clinical Advisory Panel. Consisting of Registered Nurses, Podiatrists, Certified Wound Care Associates, Certified Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses, Certified Registered Nurse Practitioners and more, clinicians of diverse expertise have contributed to this clinical resource. Recent medical research on NPWT has also provided vast data to incorporate.
