Abstract: Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of ebridement and suturing combined with double vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) technology for the treatment of pressure ulcer. Methods Totally 32 patients of pressure ulcer (from July 2011 to October 2015) re-ceived debridement and suturing after infection control. Then F14 silicone ventricular drainage tube was placed in the wound for drainage while VSD was placed outside the wound. Both tubes inside and outside wound were connected to the central vacuum (20~40 kPa). Three days after the drainage,F14 silicone ventricular drainage tube was removed,and VSD material outside wound was replaced to continuous vacu-um treatment for another 3 to 4 days. Results All of 32 cases were healed up without hematoma,dead space and flap margin necrosis,inclu-ding 4 cases of poor healing,which were healed after active dressing. Conclusion Small area of the pressure ulcer can be closed up by de-bridement and suturing combined with double VSD technology,which is a simple operation with little injury and high clinical application value.
