PMD45 COMPARISON OF WOUND CLOSURE IN CHRONIC LOWER EXTREMITY ULCERS BETWEEN SINGLE-USE NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY AND TRADITIONAL NEGATIVE PRESSURE WOUND THERAPY: A REAL WORLD ANALYSIS

Abstract

Evidence for single-use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (sNPWT) in managing surgical incisions is demonstrated across surgical indications. However, there is limited evidence in chronic wounds. Recently, a randomized clinical trial demonstrated superior clinical outcomes for sNPWT compared to tNPWT in lower extremity ulcers (LEU). The aim of this study was to examine wound closure in sNPWT and tNPWT in chronic LEU patients from a real-world evidence perspective
