Okay Mason, eatchyoor fruits, vegetables, workout drink lots of water, take vitamins, and apply protective skin cream...I shall live forevaaa...or at least not have any bodily issues...
Its the sacrum (backside). A wound like this is usually the result of a person laying on a body part for too long a duration, causing the capillaries and underlying tissues to ulcerate.
in what part of body is actialy this wound and how come that happend... i really dont understand those things.... but my plans are to go to medicine university in 2 years... so please if anyone know, tell me... i am really interested in antropology
Step one is to give the person a pain killer 30 minutes prior to removing the bandages, cleaning the wound and rebandaging the wound. Pain killers are a must.
@haileyalexis709 Yep, that is assumed. This video was meant to show NPWT. At the time this was what was available in terms of NPWT videos. Thansk for your comment
You're right. It can get pretty bad if the care givers are careless. There have been advances in NPWT. KCI's Vac is excellent, the Engenex System is too. Regardless of the system, attention must be paid to the periwound! I hope things worked out for you
People, the idea behind this video was to show NPWT. Not a pissing war over what product your prefer. The last time I checked NPWT (Negative Pressure.....is physics! Yes KCI was the first to utilize it and has patents ...yadda yadda yadda....but physics is physics. Regardless if you use foam, guaze or tissue paper, Negative Pressure is created from a suction and a seal! Its not created by a Brand. Negative Pressure is Negative Pressure. This is an old video, yet it still shows Negative Pressure
KCI was not the first; Doctors would take wall suction and apply it to wounds that were filled with gauze; identical to what you see above.
Then a couple of plastic surgeons took it a little further. They created the "foam." Just like plastic surgeons use tissue expanders, the foam actually strains the tissue within the wound bed. This deforms the cells, which causes the wound to granulate. GAUZE or "tissue paper" has not been shown in any clinical study to show cellular deformation.
As a WOCN, I will NEVER use gauze under suction. It has been shown to cause cell death in clinical studies. We tried the Renasys pump and it took way longer to heal than KCI's VAC pump. In the end it was way more expensive to use because it wasn't effective.
KCI is the only company with a patent to use foam that increases cellular growth
Good question. The surrounding skin looks that way, probably becauase of several factors. Exudate or excess fluid from the wound irritated the peri-wound or 'surrounding' skin. This patient may have been incontinent as well which caused skin irritation.

I hope they gave this patient the required pain medication at least 1/2 before doing this.

Is this from a pilonidal cyst?

Blue Sky is gone! Smith & Nephew bought the company & threw out their technology!
The new Smith & Nephew products absolutely rock! Less painful / less expensive / more effective!
