Figure 4

Tissue pressure measured 0·5 cm from the wound edge during Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) at −40, −80 and −120 mmHg, respectively in wounds filled with foam of different sizes (small or large). Results are shown as means of eight experiments. Note that the tissue pressure is positive at this distance from the wound edge. This is presumably the result of the compressive forces generated by NPWT.
