INTRODUCTION
•Fromaclinicalperspective,NPWTissuperiortostandardmoistwoundcareinavarietyofwoundtypes.
•15RCTsofvaryingqualityindicatesuperiorityandsafetyfromaclinicalperspective.
•MajorityoftrialsinvolveKCI’sV.A.C.systemusingfoam.
•TheAvanceNPWTsystemissuitableforusewithbothfoamandgauze.
•RecommendedpressurelevelsforAvancevary,dependingonfillertype:
–Avancefoam(-120mmHg)
–AMDgauze(-80mmHg)
AIMS
•DemonstrateequivalencyofMHCAvanceNPWTgreenfoamsystemwithKCI’sV.A.C.blackfoamsystem,forwhichthereisalreadyalargeevidencebase(15RCTs).
•AchievethisbydrawingondatafromanMHCanimalstudycomparingKCIV.A.C.GranuFoamwithMHCAvancefoam.
•DemonstrateequivalencyofthegauzecomponentoftheAvancesystemwithothersystemsusinggauze.
•ShowthatMepitel®OneperformsinasimilarwaytoMepitel®inconjunctionwithNPWT.
METHODS
MHC-sponsoredanimalstudiesinvolvingeighthealthydomesticpigs:
•EffectsofMHCAvancefoam,AMDgauze,andKCIV.A.C.GranuFoamwerecompared.
•BiologicaleffectsofMepitel/MepitelOne,usedasinterpositionaldressing,wereassessed.
MeasurescomparedinthefirstMHCstudyincluded:
•Mechanicaleffects(contraction).
•Quantityandqualityofgranulationtissuewithdifferentfillers.
•Woundbedtissueingrowthintothewoundfiller.
MeasurescomparedinthesecondMHCstudywere:
•Pressuretransduction.
•Bloodflowinthewoundbed.
ANIMALSTUDY
Evaluation of MHC Avance™ foam, KCI V.A.C.® GranuFoam,™ and gauze for negative pressure wound therapy (NWPT): Biological effects on the wound bed including granulation quantity, tissue ingrowth into wound filler, delivery of negative pressure to wound bed, and blood flow in the wound bed
