The Prevena Restor Bella.FormTM in the management of lower limb traumatic wounds
View through CrossRef
Objectives: The Prevena Restor Bella.FormTM is a novel closed incisional negative pressure wound therapy with a 14 day lifespan and a large contact area. This study aims to demonstrate the utility of the Prevena Restor Bella.FormTM in high risk lower limb traumatic wounds. Methods: 4 consecutive patients with complex traumatic lower limb wounds were included. The Prevena Restor Bella.FormTM was applied as a primary therapy or an adjunct to soft tissue reconstruction. Wounds were monitored fortnightly, limb circumference measured and patient satisfaction assessed by a questionnaire. All 4 patients healed within 6 weeks of Prevena application. Results: No cases developed wound complications. Limb oedema, assessed by circumference, decreased in all patients within 2 weeks. All patients were satisfied with the Prevena Restor Bella.FormTM with regards to comfort and mobility. Conclusions: Prevena Restor Bella.FormTM demonstrated clinical effectiveness in all patients, and was universally well tolerated. Level of Evidence: IV
