Because most dressing materials have limited or no antimicrobial activity and the dressings might be changed at least every 2-3 days to prevent infection, further traumatizing the wound. Aim and Objectives: To address these issues and increase overall patient comfort, we combined NPWT with a soft silicone, silver-impregnated foam dressing.
