Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The main clinical treatments of refractory wounds and traumatic soft tissue defects are traditional surgical treatment for drugs and vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) technology, but the two technologies are obviously not enough.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the application of repairment of negative pressure therapy (RNPT) on soft tissue defects after trauma.
METHODS: Sixty cases of traumatic soft tissue defects were randomly divided into 2 groups: Traditional treatment group (Conventional dressing therapy) and RNPT group (Isino negative pressure wound treatment instrument). As the wound clinical evaluation criteria, the treatment efficacy scores were recorded during the dressing time at the end of each treatment cycle or after treatment cycle.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the conventional treatment group, RNPT treatment group could promote injury wound healing, reduce the local edema and stimulate the granulation tissue formation. Furthermore, this technology could also reduce the workload of health care and alleviate the sufferings of the patients which could provide a good condition for the second phase of the wound repair surgery.
