Abstract:
Fingertip injuries are difficult to treat. Although the best way is to cover the wound with flap or graft without finger shortening, coverage of the wound with flap or graft cannot be suitable in each case. For some cases, secondary wound healing can be an alternative treatment. In the secondary healing process, to promote the granulation tissue and to reduce wound-healing time, subatmospheric dressing (vacuum dressing) can be a useful method. In this study, a new custom-made subatmospheric dressing method designed for fingertip injuries has been described.
