Negative pressure wound treatment with computer‐controlled irrigation/instillation decreases bacterial load in contaminated wounds and facilitates wound closure
Abstract
Microbial wound contamination is known to be a hindrance to wound healing. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with or without irrigation is known to optimise conditions in problem wounds. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of computer‐controlled wound irrigation with NPWT on the bacterial load in contaminated wounds. A total of 267 patients were treated with NPWT with automated instillation because of problematic wounds...
