title: [Several aspects of foam materials and their possible interactions with the wound surface in the vacuum therapy].
abstract: Tissue engineering research has demonstrated the potential of a variety of different matrix materials to enable cell adhesion, diffusion of nutrients, vascular ingrowth, nutrition and growth promotion. Therefore it appears attractive to apply these features also to topical negative pressure therapy. The article discusses several aspects of foam materials and their possible interactions with the wound surface.
