dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this research was to develop a clinically validated portable NPWT device with low power consumption features. A new NPWT device having dimension of 30 cm x20 em <licm (Length x Width x Hight) was clinically tested to evaluate its performance. The device is capable of working continuously for more than 24 hours under pressure range from -50 mmHg to -250 mmHg with ± 3 mmHg accuracy. After several clinical tests, it could be confirmed that the wound healing rate has been increased significantly with the aid of developed NPWT device.en_US
