Study Summary
You are being asked to participate in this study because you have a complex wound that requires treatment with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT). NPWT is a therapeutic technique which involves the placement of a wound vacuum at the site of the wound. The wound vacuum delivers a negative pressure at the wound site through a dressing. Any fluid collected during this process is collected through a foam (sponge) underneath the dressing. This therapy helps to draw the edges of the wound together, while removing infectious material, to help promote healthy tissue growth and speed up wound healing. The purpose of this study is to determine if placing polypropylene suture (a material normally used to close wounds) between the wound and the NPWT foam would decrease pain upon removal of the sponge while allowing adequate healing of the wound.
Primary Outcome
testing to see if suture decreases the pain when removing the wound vac
