NPWT, also known as topical negative-pressure wound therapy, is widely used in managing and accelerating wound healing. However in wounds were slough is highly represented NPWT efficiency is low. In the patients included in this study clinical health conditions were precarious. We needed a rapid wound healing to not further compromise their health condition. So we added curity dressing to resolve the slough issue. In all the patients we observed slough reduction. This treatment provided beneficial for the patient, the surgeons and the National Health Service. Accelerating wound healing reduced hospitalization and thereby the patients achieved a reduction of risks of nosocomial infections and physical and psychological diseases.

Recent SARS-CoV-2 pandemic leading to a rapidly increasing number of hospitalizations enforced reevaluation of wound management strategies. The optimal treatment strategy for patients with chronic wounds and those recovering from emergency and urgent oncological surgery should aim to minimize the number of hospital admissions, as well as the number of surgical procedures and decrease the length of stay to disburden the hospital staff and to minimize viral infection risk. One of the potential solutions that could help to achieve these goals may be the extensive and early use of NPWT devices in the prevention of wound healing complications. Single-use NPWT devices are helpful in outpatient wound treatment and SSI prevention (ciNPWT) allowing to minimize in-person visits to the health care center while still providing the best possible wound-care. Stationary NPWT should be used in deep SSI and perioperative wound healing disorders as soon as possible. Patient’s education and telemedical support with visual wound healing monitoring and video conversations have the potential to minimize the number of unnecessary in-person visits in patients with wounds and therefore substantially increase the level of care.
