First Middle East Experience with Novel Foam Dressing Together with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy and Instillation

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… Show more

“…Recently, EW with antimicrobial properties has been utilized as part of cell proliferation, anti-infection and anti-biofilm therapies in a wound healing agent (shown in the Figure 5 ) [ 114 , 127 ]. Ben et al found that with the application of MicroSafe ® as an instillation fluid with a novel foam dressing and negative pressure wound therapy for the patient, the wound bed showed dramatic improvement after three days of treatment [ 128 ]. Sasai et al also studied the potential use of AEW for patients with atopic dermatitis.…”

“…Ahmad et al also studied that SAEW combined with 0.5% FA on pork showed a more significant bactericidal effect and prolonged shelf life at 6 days [106,107]. Consequently, bacterial viability decreased because essential enzymes and purine bases are negatively affected [108].…”

“…EW with an antimicrobial effect has been used as a part of cell proliferation, anti-biofilm, and antiinfection therapies in a wound-healing agent [115]. Ben et al discovered that, with the application of MicroSafe ® as an installation fluid with novel foam dressing and adverse pressure wound treatment for the patient, the wound showed significant improvement after three days of therapy [106,107]. In addition, HOCl has been reported to have antiinflammation and anti-itch effects on patients with atopic dermatitis [113].…”

“…Globally, chronic wounds are a secret epidemic that imposes astronomical health care expenses [14]. Approximately 6.5 million persons in the United States are afflicted with chronic ailments resulting from pressure caused by conditions such as diabetes mellitus, venous stasis, and various infections [4]. The average length of hospitalisation is lengthy, with annual costs ranging from $6 to $15 billion [27] [28].…”

“…The majority of colonised wounds are difficult to treat, necessitating the use of complex multimodal healing techniques [9]. The evolutionary steps have proved the capacity to treat wounds using reticulated open-cell foams, such as VERAFLO [4]. Using the creation of NPWT, the elimination of infectious material, and thick wound exudate, [12] numerous research studies have been conducted in an effort to improve wound healing duration and hospitalisation rates by introducing new techniques.…”
