MENENDEZ ARZAC, R. e ORDAZ CORTES, J.. Vacuum-Assisted Closure therapy® for treatment of brown recluse spider bite. Cir. plást. iberolatinoam. [online]. 2011, vol.37, n.3, pp.295-298. ISSN 1989-2055. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S0376-78922011000300011.
The brown recluse spider bite can cause an enlarging necrotic skin wound, traditionally treated with expectant management, anti-inflammatory drugs and late reconstructive surgery. In this paper we report 2 cases where we used Vacuum-Assisted Closure therapy (VAC®) for the successful management of these wounds. We believe that VAC® therapy is very effective in reducing wound size and skin necrosis, and also in accelerating patient recovery time.
