Background: In any surgical out-patient department, leg ulcers are one of the most often occurring occurrences. Leg ulcers can have a variety of causes, including trauma, diabetes, chronic venous insufficiency, trophic, hypertension, and more. The goal of this study is to compare the clinical effectiveness and safety of negative pressure wound care to moist gauze dressings for the treatment of foot ulcer wounds.
Results: The majority of the ulcer (45.4%) was treated with a secondary goal using VAC dressing. When compared to routine wound care, treating DFU with VAC therapy results in a higher graft take rate (p=0.05). On day 28, there was a statistically significant correlation between interventions and the location of the ulcer.
Conclusions: Unlike moist gauze dressing, which may be applied to any wound surface, vacuum dressing is only effective on select wound surfaces and cannot be used to treat wounds that expose the tendon sheath, blood vessels, bones, or aponeurosis. Continuous vacuum suction dressing requires less frequent dressing changes than moist gauze, which needs to be changed twice day to achieve the best outcomes.
What is Aponeurosis?
Your muscles and bones are connected to one another by a thin sheath of connective tissue called an aponeurosis.
