Abstract
- We describe our early experience with a novel foam dressing together with negative pressure wound therapy and instillation (NPWTi-d) for cleansing and removal of infectious materials. This is a prospective review of the clinical outcomes of three patients using V.A.C. VERAFLO™ Therapy with the V.A.C. VERAFLO CLEANSE CHOICE™ Dressing. This novel foam dressing has been designed in a unique way to help facilitate the removal of infectious material, thick fibrinous exudate, slough, and other wound bioburden. To our best knowledge, this is the first reported case series using this dressing in the Middle East. Our preliminary results suggest that adjunctive use of NPWTi-d using V.A.C. VERAFLO CLEANSE CHOICE™ Dressing can clean large or complex wounds when complete surgical debridement is not possible or when areas of non-viable tissue remain present on the wound bed after surgical debridement.
