Figure 1.

The figure shows a schematic of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) of the open abdomen with and without Jelonet, and the location of the laser Doppler probes (×). A loop of the intestinal wall in which the blood flow was measured was sutured to the inner surface of the dressing apically just beneath the dressing, or at the surface of the anterior abdominal wall. The locations of the probes were confirmed after each experiment.
