The Advanced Wound Management Division of Smith & Nephew has highlighted the results of a multi-centre study demonstrating that gauze-based negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) achieves many of the common treatment goals defined for foam-based NPWT systems. These include a reduction in wound dimension and exudate, and improvement in granulation tissue. Further, a subset of patients in the same study found that skin graft take was dramatically enhanced and care facilitated by gauze-based NPWT.
