Which item comes in the negative pressure sterile kit?

• A. Wound vacuum unit
• B. Sterile suture kit
• C. Measuring tape
• D. Bandages only

Answer: (A)

Negative pressure wound therapy relies on a sealed system that applies controlled suction to a wound. The component that provides that suction—the wound vacuum unit—is the essential part of the kit, because it creates and maintains the negative pressure that drives the therapy. Without the vacuum unit, the other items can help with assessment or dressing alone, but they won’t generate the necessary negative pressure. A measuring tape is used to measure wound size, not to apply therapy. A sterile suture kit is for closing wounds, not for negative pressure treatment. Bandages alone cover the wound but don’t establish a sealed, suction-enabled environment. So the wound vacuum unit is the item that comes in the negative pressure sterile kit.
