A) extensive open wound on medial aspect of left thigh and crus of a dog. B) after application of NPWT using open cell foam (KCI, San Antonio, TX) as the contact layer. The wound has been sealed with adhesive drapes and a vacuum applied through the pump unit. Negative pressure is achieved via tubing leading to a disc applied to a fenestration created in the drape. This converts the open wound into a controlled, closed environment.
