ABSTRACT
Pressure sore is usually developed by repeated or persistent pressure given to fixed regions. Due to increase in old ages, paraplegia or quadriplegia by traffic accidents and industrial accidents, the incidence of pressure sore is increasing. V.A.C.(R)(vacuum assisted closure, KCI Inc, U.S.A.) has been highly effective for accelerating wound healing, however, high cost and the use of special equipment have been preventing it from popular use. We applied the negative pressure of wall suction (100-150mmHg) with Medifoam B(R)(Hydrophilic polyurethane foam, Ildong Pharm, Co., Korea) on pressure sore wound instead of expensive dressing foam of V.A.C.(R) So, we could accelerate wound healing without special equipment or incurring high cost. We were able to reduce the cost to 10% with Medifoam B(R) and wall suction dressing compared with V.A.C.(R) In this aspect, the technique explained above seems to be clinically useful.
