Gauze-based NPWT Capable of Achieving Same Treatment Goals as Foam-based NPWT
Date:10/24/2009

re system to be versatile and capable of application to a wide variety of wounds that due to their location, extent and level of exudate would be difficult to manage with foam dressings. The gauze filler used in this evaluation also demonstrated some positive advantages regarding its conformability and ease of application to large and irregular wounds."

The second poster in today's session presented results from a sub-set of 23 grafted patients with split-thickness skin grafts (STSG) that were treated with gauze-based NPWT post-operatively. The average STSG percentage take was 83%, with an average percentage take for diabetics of 50% and for non-diabetics of 95%. There were no complaints of major discomfort and no significant infections. The study validates NPWT's ability to immobilize a graft, which has several positive advantages that improve overall graft survival.

"These exciting studies provide the efficacy data needed to demonstrate that both gauze and foam interfaces provide comparable healing rates in NPWT systems," said Patricia Burns, RN, MSN, CWOCN, Senior Director of Clinical Affairs, Smith & Nephew Advanced Wound Management. "This is an important contribution to the body of science underscoring the value of having options when applying NPWT. Based on the individual needs of the patient, clinicians can choose between gauze and foam wound interfaces with confidence that either approach will meet their clinical objectives for NPWT."
