Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT), commonly known as Wound VAC therapy, utilizes controlled suction to promote healing in complex wounds by removing excess fluids and stimulating tissue growth. While MERV 8 air filters are effective in capturing common airborne particles like dust and pollen, they do not play a direct role in wound healing processes such as NPWT.
