Abstract

The use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) systems has been shown to promote wound healing. NPWT systems promise a fast and efficient way of preparing wounds for closure by either secondary intention or delayed primary closure, as well as for skin grafting and flap covering. While many of its benefits are established, commercial NPWT systems are not readily available and may be extremely costly for the patient. In the current report, we describe an equivalent alternative of NPWT at a substantially lower cost.
