Vacuum-assisted wound healing has been proven to be more efficacious than conventional dressings. Vacuum dressing has been frequently modified given the restrictions in resources available. Here we present a modified method of vacuum dressing by using surgical or gynaecological gloves for lower and upper limb wounds. Vacuum dressing was applied with parts of a surgical or gynaecological glove and Opsite with T-tailing of the suction outlet. Vacuum-assisted wound healing using the surgical gloves showed relatively good wound healing in the amputation stump, finger, arm, and leg in the cases studied.
负压辅助伤口愈合已被证明比传统敷料更有效。鉴于可用资源的限制,负压敷料经常被改进。在此,我们介绍一种改进的负压敷料方法,即使用外科手套或妇科手套处理下肢和上肢伤口。用外科手套或妇科手套的部分以及带有吸引出口T型尾端的Opsite进行负压敷料。在所研究的病例中,使用外科手套进行负压辅助伤口愈合在截肢残端、手指、手臂和腿部显示出相对良好的伤口愈合效果。
