Highlights•Adjunctive negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) significantly improves time to re-epithelialization in pediatric burns. •Despite the demonstrated efficacy, this treatment has not been implemented as part of acute pediatric burn care. •A determinant framework was used to explore barriers to the implementation of adjunctive NPWT and develop matched strategies. •To implement NPWT into clinical practice, additional resources, education, training, and updates to policies are required.
