A Retrospective Analysis of Acoustic Pressure Wound Therapy: Effects on the Healing Progression of Chronic Wounds

ACCWS May 1, 2009

Abstract

“Small clinical studies suggest adjunctive use of acoustic pressure wound therapy (APWT) may enhance wound healing, even in challenging patients. This noncontact low-frequency, nonthermal ultrasound therapy for assisting with the debridement of necrotic tissue from challenging wounds is generally better tolerated by patients for whom treatment-related wound pain, anticoagulation, or medical instability precludes sharp, surgical, or mechanical debridement.”
