Abstract
Postoperative delayed wound healing, surgical site infections and other wound complications are associated with increased morbidity and health-care costs. In vascular surgery, wound complications can have serious consequences. Favorable results have been reported using closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) over various incision types. Studies have shown that ciNPT helps hold incision edges together, removes fluid and infectious materials, and protects incisions form external contamination. We report our initial experiences using a ciNPT over clean, closed lower limb amputation wounds.
