title: Case 16: further success as an instillation solution with NPWT.
abstract: An amputation stump developed a particularly painful abscess, which required incision and drainage. Combined use of NPWT and octenilin Wound Irrigation Solution as the instillation fluid proved successful, with a reduction in pain and sufficient healing for the wound to be closed in theatre.
