1. A method for treating a wound of an individual and for enhancing a rate of wound healing, the method comprising:
- applying, for a first period of time, a negative pressure treatment to the wound without applying a pulsed radio frequency treatment; and
applying, for a second period of time subsequent to the first period time, a pulsed radio frequency energy treatment to the wound, while maintaining the negative pressure treatment to enhance the rate of wound healing,wherein the negative pressure treatment and the pulsed radio frequency energy treatment are applied concurrently for the duration of the second period of time.

Abstract
A method for treating a wound of an individual and for enhancing a rate of wound healing by applying, for a first period of time, a negative pressure treatment to the wound without applying a pulsed radio frequency treatment; and applying, for a second period of time subsequent to the first period time, a pulsed radio frequency energy treatment to the wound while maintaining the negative pressure treatment to enhance the rate of wound healing. The negative pressure treatment and the pulsed radio frequency energy treatment are applied concurrently for the duration of the second period of time.

11. A method for treating a wound of an individual and for enhancing a rate of wound healing, the method comprising:
-
applying concurrently a negative pressure treatment and a pulsed radio frequency energy treatment, wherein the negative pressure treatment and pulsed radio frequency energy treatment are maintained for a period of time sufficient to achieve the enhanced rate of wound healing, wherein the enhanced rate of wound healing results in at least a 90% decrease in wound volume. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
