The use of negative pressure to promote the healing of tissue defects: a clinical trial using the vacuum sealing technique
A prospective clinical trial from January 1994 to February 1996 evaluated the efficacy of a vacuum sealing technique in dealing with sacral pressure ulcers, acute traumatic soft tissue defects and infected soft tissue defects following rigid stabilization of lower extremity fractures in 45 patients. Polyvinyl foam under negative pressure generates an area of high contact forces at the wound/foam interface.
