abstract="We present a new technique for connecting open wounds to a negative-pressure device. In this technique, a flexible, small-diameter intravenous tube is used to bridge the gap between open wounds on the same extremity. After these connections are made, the first layer of plastic is placed, and only 1 fenestrated connection is made to the device. This technique allows use of multiple sponges with only 1 fenestrated cap and 1 connection to the device. The smaller intravenous tube must not be placed directly on skin, as it may cause a pressure ulcer underneath.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
