No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Aim of the study is to prove the utility and safety of the negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in the postoperative management of free flaps.

The quantitative assessment of the entirety of clinical main relevant parameters like edema formation, microcirculation, macrocirculation and wound healing should create a better and comprehensive understanding of the NPWT effects in this field.

Conditions

  • Negative-Pressure Wound Therapy
  • Edema
  • Free Flap
  • Microcirculation
  • Macrocirculation

Interventions

DEVICE
