Abstract :

In the last one century, the understanding of wound healing has been remarkably improved and with that a number of advancements made to facilitate early and safer wound healing. Some of the concepts changing the perception of wound healing and driving the newer wound management strategies include wound occlusion, moist wound healing, growth accelerators, enzymatic deidement, high pressure water irrigation, bio–deidement, growth factors, skin substitutes, collagen, topical insulins, topical antioxidants and negative pressure wound therapy. In the current study we set out to study the efficacy of Negative pressure wound therapy in comparision to conventional saline moist gauze dressing in open infected wounds.
