Welcome to the Medela University

We invite you to explore the Medela University where you will find online courses on NPWT and wound care. Please note that all courses are free of charge.

Getting started

This e-learning gives a comprehensive account into the physics behind NPWT. The focus of the course is to delve deeper into the biological effects that occur with NPWT. Please click on all + signs that you see in the course. Please click on all visual cards that ask you to "flip" them. You will not be able to advance to the next section unless you do and answer any questions in that section. There will be a some questions at the end of some sections of the training to check for comprehension. Good luck and enjoy the course.   This course is CPD certified. Read more

In this module we explore the physics behind negative pressure wound therapy. Some of the key questions we will explore include how negative pressure is created and delivered to the wound bed, and how changes in pressure lead to fluid removal.  Finally, we explore several of the clever adaptations that have been made to negative pressure wound therapy systems to enhance their function.
