نویسندگان
چکیده
Vacuum force (suction) is commonly used in wound management strategies. Topical negative pressure wound therapy and closed surgical wound drainage both use vacuum force but each have different modus operandi.

Continuous high-pressure negative suction drain: new powerful tool for closed wound management: clinical experience.
BACKGROUND Although various reconstructive flap surgeries have been successfully performed, there still are difficult wound complications, such as seroma formation, wound margin necrosis, delayed wound healing, and even flap failures. The negative-pressure wound therapy has been described in detail in the literature to assist open chronic/complex wound closure in reconstructive surgery. However...
متن کاملLetter to the Editor regarding: Negative pressure wound therapy
I read the article of Wang et al. [1] entitled “Topical negative pressure improves autograft take by altering nutrient diffusion: A hypothesis” with great interest. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is generally used in a two-step surgical procedure to treat surgical site infections. At the time the wound is sterile and wound granulation has been initiated, the wound can be secondary surgi...
متن کاملTopical negative pressure improves autograft take by altering nutrient diffusion: A hypothesis
The one-step surgical procedure for dermal substitutes combined with topical negative pressure (TNP) has proven effective for treating deep skin defects with improved graft take. The primary mechanism by which TNP improves autograft take is unknown. Some studies suggest that TNP promotes the rapid angiogenesis of dermal substitutes, improving graft take. However, at the early stage of one-step ...
متن کاملComparison of Primary Wound Closure with Vacuum Drainage and Delayed Closure in Perforated Appendicitis
Open wound managment after perforated appendicitis has been a common practice but recently, primary closure has been advocated to reduce costs and morbidity. For comparing delayed closures against primary closure with vacuum drainage, a randomized experimental study was designed. in Kerman. Sixty patients with perforated appendicitis divided randomly in two groups and evaluated on day of discha...
متن کاملNegative Pressure Wound Therapy on Closed Surgical Wounds With Dead Space
BACKGROUND Closed incisional wound surgery frequently leaves dead space under the repaired skin, which results in delayed healing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) on incisional wounds with dead space after primary closure by evaluating the fluid volume through the suction drain, blood flow of the skin, tensile strength, and histolog...
