1. A method for providing intermittent negative pressure wound healing which includes the steps of:

  • (a) applying a negative pressure compressible therapeutic dressing about a wound;

    (b) compressing the therapeutic dressing using negative pressure to subject the wound and the therapeutic dressing to a first predetermined pressure which is low enough to provide therapy to the wound and high enough to maintain a seal between the dressing and the wound; and

    (c) decompressing the therapeutic dressing to a second sub-atmospheric pressure above the first predetermined pressure sufficient to maintain the dressing in a generally sealed contact with the wound while relaxing compression about the wound.
