Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy II: Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy and Increased Perfusion. Just an Illusion?

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2009
A recent study demonstrated that negative-pressure wound therapy increases underlying tissue pressure. This finding is incongruous with studies using laser Doppler that show that perfusion is immediately increased on initiation of suction. This study investigated perfusion in negative-pressure wound therapy using two alternative modalities.Radioisotope
