The delivery of topical pressures at subatmospheric levels to heal acute and chronic wounds has been widely reported. This article reviews the role of this therapeutic modality to treat wounds of the lower extremity. Recent literature is re-viewed, and mechanisms of action of this process are also discussed.

Key Words: topical negative pressure • lower extremity wounds
