Abstract
LORCA GARCIA, C. et al. Our experience using negative-pressure therapy Renasys® at the Hospital La Fe, Valencia, Spain. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2010, vol.36, n.4, pp.327-334. ISSN 1989-2055.
Vacumm therapy has shown to be useful and effective in different types of wounds. Its use is common in the Plastic Surgery Departments and it is a very important tool in the acute and chronic wounds management; it achieves the healing of the wounds or it gives an adequate bed for the posterior coverage. We report our experience in the use of vacuum therapy Renasys®(Smith&Nephew, Spain) in the Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery Department in La Fe University Hospital, Valencia (Spain) in the last year, showing the utility of vacuum therapy in different etiology and types of wounds.
