title: [Infected wound treatment using negative pressure atmosphere].
abstract: The aim of this clinical study is the presentation of a adjuvant therapy for chronic or infected wounds. Unwanted complication in any surgical branch the infected wound benefits primarily of surgical debridement. The treatment in negative pressure atmosphere of the complicated wound is a valuable adjuvant treatment due to volume reduction of the soft tissue defect, stimulation of the granulation tissue formation, decreasing of the bacterial contamination, permanent secretion drainage in a closed system with local continuous or intermittent lavage possibility. The patented V.A.C. system is the ideal but expensive option for this therapy. However good results were obtained in the treatment of difficult infected wounds by building a system using a auto adhesive incision drape and Redon drainage.
