Summary
Background: The wound healing promoting effect of negative wound pressure therapies (NWPT)
takes place at the wound foam interface. Implementation of bioactive substances at this site
represents a major research area for the development of future NWPT devices.
Methods: Wound healing kinetics of pressure ulcers treated by vacuum assisted closure devices
with or without the implementation of a thin interface of poly-N-acetyl glucosamine
nanofibers (sNAG) was studied in a prospective randomized clinical trial.
