Dynamic Pressure Therapy Mode, stems from Intermittent Mode. According to the research by Michael J. Morykwas in 1997 ①, the principle of Intermittent Mode is to change the blood flow of wounds through intermittent negative pressure.
The intermittent negative pressure changes the blood flow of the wound, and the final mean value is about 4 times the normal level.
Morykwas also studied the clinical effect of intermittent pressure therapy. The results showed that intermittent pressure had more granulation growth than continuous pressure.

But the further research of Wackenfors①② and Kairinos③ towards negative pressure wound blood flow, under the effect of negative pressure, the blood flow is affected by the distance between vessel and wound surface, and the blood flow is not 100% increased under the effect of negative pressure. On the contrary, the blood flow which is 0.5cm from the wound surface is decreased.

The change of blood flow at 2.5 cm under the surface of the wound with negative pressure in the wound
The change of blood flow at 0.5 cm under the surface of the wound with negative pressure in the wound
The change of blood flow at 1 cm under the surface of the wound with negative pressure in the wound
Meanwhile, study by Gupta ① shows, the sudden pressure changes of intermittent mode may cause pain to patients. It is also found that patients with intermittent mode treatment have more pain complains than patients with continuous mode treatment.
Based on the above study, Eberlein ② suggested Dynamic Mode as replacement of Intermittent Mode. After clinical prove by Malmsjo ③ Dynamic Mode has no difference with Intermittent on clinical performance, even better. At the same time, it reduces pain to patients greatly.
