The Combination of a Hypertonic Saline Dressing and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) for Quick and Bloodless Debridement of Difficult Lesions in Complicated Patients

Abstract

NPWT, also known as topical negative-pressure wound therapy, is widely used in managing and accelerating wound healing. However in wounds were slough is highly represented NPWT efficiency is low. In the patients included in this study clinical health conditions were precarious. We needed a rapid wound healing to not further compromise their health condition. So we added curity dressing to resolve the slough issue. In all the patients we observed slough reduction. This treatment provided beneficial for the patient, the surgeons and the National Health Service. Accelerating wound healing reduced hospitalization and thereby the patients achieved a reduction of risks of nosocomial infections and physical and psychological diseases.

Antimicrobial Properties of Nonantibiotic Agents for Effective Treatment of Localized Wound Infections: A Minireview

“…69 It has been revealed that hypertonic saline is effective in controlling infection and exudation from wounds. 70 Osmotic action is considered as the contributory factor for wound healing ability. 70 A combination of hypertonic saline of 20% sodium chloride dressing with negative pressure has been tested on infected wounds for quick wound debridement.…”

Composite Membrane Dressings System with Metallic Nanoparticles as an Antibacterial Factor in Wound Healing

“…Among the examples of the first group are alginate [68][69][70], hydrogel [71][72][73][74], semi-permeable film [65], hydrocolloid [75][76][77], foam [78][79][80], and hydroactive [81,82] dressings [65]. In the second category, interactive hydrofibre [83], wet [65], silicone [84,85], honey [86][87][88], capillary wicking [89], hypertonic saline [90], silver [91][92][93][94], cadexomer iodine [95,96] dressings, and zinc paste bandages [97][98][99] are placed.…”
