The operative treatment of pressure wounds: a 10-year experience in flap selection.

abstract：:The use of lavage was compared to negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with instillation (NPWTi) to assess extent of soft tissue damage, debris removal and environmental cross-contamination susceptibility in three distinct models. Scanning electron microscopy in an ex vivo model showed increased visible tissue traum...
