[Wound-adapter in the treatment of purulent wounds]

The method of closure of soft tissues purulent wounds with wound-adapter of original construction has been developed and used in clinical practice. This method provides complete reposition and adaptation of wound margins without suture eruption. Good results (primary closure) were achieved in 85.8% cases in the study group, and in 49.7% cases in the control group, satisfactory results (secondary closure partly) - in 14.2 and 50.3% cases, respectively. Hospital stay was reduced from 27.6 +/- 1.5 to 22.4 +/- 0.7 bed-days (p < 0,05).
