University of Tennessee Medical Center (UT Medical Center) negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) business is being changed to Innovative Therapies (ITI).

ITI’s patented NPWT system with foam dressings – along with its proprietary simultaneous irrigation technology – promotes wound healing and patient comfort.

The wound treatment system is suitable for any healthcare setting, claims ITI .

UT Medical Center serves as a referral center for Western North Carolina, Southeast Kentucky and Eastern Tennessee.

UT Medical Center Supply Chain executive director Ron Collins said they are very pleased with the outcomes they are realizing through the use of the NPWT system.

"This negative pressure device allows us to treat patients with complex wounds that we previously had not been able to treat," Collins said.
