Vacuum-Assisted Closure for Soft Tissue Defect with Severe Open Fracture

Abstract

Seal closes wounded area in film dressing materials, and there is Vacuum-Assisted Closure (following VAC) for soft tissue defect with severe open fracture for the purpose of fixing appropriate humectation habitat by removing additional interstitial fluid. The procedure is widely used to treat chronic skin ulcers such as bed sores, and VAC is the mainstream therapy used in European and American hospitals now.
VAC systems are manufactured in Europe and the United States but not in Japan. We add a maneuver device, and we perform V.A.C for infected wound after severe open fracture this time and report it because we obtained good consequence.
