FDA Asks Your Input on Negative Pressure Wound Therapy

The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) has requested valuable input from users of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) systems in the home environment.

FDA has received reports of adverse events associated with NPWT systems, especially those used at home and at extended care facilities. Since wound care can take place in the home and can be self-initiated, managed, or used with the help of a trained caregiver (often a family member), FDA wants to hear about your experiences with these systems.

If you use NPWT in the home environment and are willing to participate in an important FDA survey related to this treatment, please click on the link below and you'll be directed to a brief survey questionnaire. FDA notes that your information will be used strictly for this purpose and responses to the questionnaire will remain confidential, and thanks all those who participate.
