Objective: This article intends to illustrate the clinical qualification of the Vivano Negative Pressure Wound Therapy system through a detailed case study involving a patient with post-abdominoplasty wound complications.
Methods: A 35-year-old female patient presented with wound dehiscence, necrosis, and infection following cosmetic abdominoplasty performed abroad. After initial conservative management failed, surgical debridement and repeated application of Vivano Negative Pressure Wound Therapy at varying pressure settings led to rapid granulation tissue development, infection control, and successful integration of a split-thickness skin graft. Its role in supporting graft adherence was especially critical, culminating in complete wound closure and recovery within a four-week inpatient period.
Results: The use of Vivano Negative Pressure Wound Therapy contributed considerably to wound stabilization, bacterial clearance, and post-grafting support, leading to complete wound healing and hospital discharge within four weeks of active intervention.
Conclusion: This case underscores the value of Vivano Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in managing complex post-operative wounds, commencement of treatment using this device results in a significantly faster rate of wound healing compared to standard care.
