Background: Addressing non-healing foot ulcers has become clinical concern, necessitating effective prevention and treatment strategies. NPWT is a comprehensive treatment of non-healing foot ulcers. Objectives: To study the clinical efficacy of NPWT regarding granulation and post-operative recovery in treating non-healing foot ulcers of various etiologies. Methodology: Case series of 8 cases of non-healing foot ulcers of various etiologies were taken. After admission, application of NPWT was done and outcomes assessed after 3 weeks. Results: Out of 8 cases, one case was 12 years old, two belong to age group 21 to 40 years (21 years and 38 years), three belong to 41 to 60 age group (51, 53 and 57 years) and remaining two were aged >60 years (61 and 69 years). 6 patients were males and 2 were females. Three cases were of post-traumatic (post-road traffic accident crushed injury) with non-healing ulcer on left lateral foot and left leg, two cases had non-healing Diabetic Ulcer over dorsal left foot and right Heel, two cases had necrotizing fasciitis with cellulitis on left dorsum of foot with non-healing ulcer and one case presented with vegetative non-healing ulcer over left leg. All the cases were admitted and underwent wound cleaning and debridement. Negative Pressure wound Therapy was applied for a period of 3 weeks and granulation was achieved. Harvesting done and Skin graft was applied on affected area and after 3 weeks wound was assessed. The graft was taken successfully and further management was un-eventful. Wound was found to be healing and healthy in all eight cases. Conclusion: NPWT is an effective and safe treatment to treat non-healing ulcers of different aetiologies which makes it possible for maximum granulation of a wound in a shorter time. It promotes and accelerates the healing process with few of no complications.
