Abstract

The Limited Access Dressing (LAD) combines the principles of moist wound healing and topical negative pressure dressing along with a provision of an additional port for instilling antimicrobial solution/gas of choice without any need to change the dressing. The major advantage of LAD over other form of negative pressure wound therapy is the access it allows for wound wash and the possibility of monitoring the wound during treatment period through the transparent wound cover.
