Liệu pháp hút áp lực âm trong điều trị vết thương bàn tay trẻ em

Abstract

Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is commonly used as a bolster for skin grafts. The technique offers the benefit of negative pressure as well as reduced dressing changes. Skin grafting of the hand provides a unique challenge, and currently, the only commercially available NPWT hand dressings are adult-sized, precluding their use in small children.
We present our custom NPWT “mitten” technique for use with skin grafts on the pediatric hand.
