<p style="font-weight: 400;">Of all the options available for wound treatment, few have been as transformative as negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). From the earliest descriptions of applying suction to wound surfaces, such as cupping therapy in Egypt around 1550 BC and later by Hippocrates (ca. 400 BC), through suction drainage systems for exudate management described by Raffel and Silvis et al. in the 1950s, to the multiple formats and indications we use today, NPWT has redefined the care of complex wounds. In this editorial, we discuss the value of negative pressure wound therapy in wound management and highlight future perspectives for the method.</p>
