Abstract

Chronic wounds pose a significant challenge for the healthcare system, impacting millions worldwide. While conventional treatments lack efficacy, specialized methods are effective albeit expensive and less available in comparison. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) provides an isolated and conducive environment for wound healing, resulting in remarkable clinical advantages, however it remains economically inaccessible in latinamerican countries like Peru. This work developed an NPWT prototype tailored for developing countries, focusing on effective functionality assessed through a testing protocol based on ISO 10079-1:2022 Medical Suction Equipmen guidelines. Results demonstrated reliable device performance, highlighting areas for improvement.
