Management of Posterior Digital Skin Defect by Pico Negative Pressure Wound Therapy: A Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract

The use of negative pressure therapy for digital skin loss is uncommon. A reason for this is the difficulty of applying dressings to the hand, which are often difficult to seal. However, negative pressure therapy offers some benefits, especially when associated with local infection. We present a nonspecific, simple and original technique using a Pico negative pressure dressing that may be easily applied in daily practice.
