متن کاملUse of Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy on Closed Median Sternal Incisions after Cardiothoracic Surgery: Clinical Evidence and Consensus Recommendations
Negative pressure wound therapy is a concept introduced initially to assist in the treatment of chronic open wounds. Recently, there has been growing interest in using the technique on closed incisions after surgery to prevent potentially severe surgical site infections and other wound complications in high-risk patients. Negative pressure wound therapy uses a negative pressure unit and specifi...
متن کاملNegative pressure surgical management after pathological scar surgical excision: a first report.
Wound dehiscence is a surgical complication caused by the application of opposing and distracting forces tending to pull apart the suture line. In recent years, a novel negative pressure surgical management system has been developed to prevent surgical wound complications. This system creates a closed environment that removes exudates and other potentially infectious material, protects the surg...
