With this work I tried to evaluate which aspects characterize the negative pressure therapy (NTP) and I analyzed the validity of this technique comparing it with the use of advanced dressings. Today, due to the spending review, the costs of dressings, tubes, containers, and the cost of renting them for home use are higher than other types of dressings, although today the costs of NTP are drastically decreasing.
