A novel vacuum assisted closure therapy model for use with percutaneous devices

Abstract: Long-term maintenance of a dermal barrier around a percutaneous prosthetic device remains a common clinical problem. A technique known as Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) uses negative pressure to facilitate healing of impaired and complex soft tissue wounds. However, the combination of using negative pressure with percutaneous prosthetic devices has not been investigated. The goal of this study was to develop a methodology to apply negative pressure to the tissues surrounding a percutaneous device in an… Show more

“…The control animals (Group 1 and 2) were singularly housed in standard rectangular cages (Model#1500 U Eurostand type IVS, Techniplast, East Goshen, PA) with top mounted water delivery systems and floor food bowls for unlimited access. The animals receiving NPWT regimen (Groups 3 and 4) were housed individually in custom designed cages (Figure A), which were previously used in a similar study . Briefly, they were transparent polycarbonate cylindrical cages that housed a side mounted water bottle and a feeding bowl.…”

“…As described in previous studies, the implant exit site was covered with a sterile gauze and a semi‐occlusive base dressing in all the animals. Briefly, post‐surgery the skin was cleaned with sterile saline and gauze.…”

“…This tube allowed for the application of the negative pressure treatment directly to the gauze over the implantation site. To limit physical stress resulting from the NPWT delivery set‐up, custom designed cages based upon previously reported studies, were used [Figure (B)] . Briefly, the cages were designed with a rotary L‐fitting (Model RHL ¼‐N2U, PISCO Inc., Bensenville, IL) and a straight connector (Model PCF ¼‐N2U, PISCO Inc., Bensenville, IL), which allowed the animal unrestricted access to the entire cage.…”
