Abstract:
Gauze packing and drainage is a routine treatment for various types of fistula and sinus pressure ulcers. Because the external orifice of pressure ulcer or fistula is relatively small and the sinus deep, the conventional gauze packing has many drawbacks. Under the situation the operator is not skillful enough and no appropriate tools, it is necessary to pull the external orifice by tweezers to dilate the sinus and perform gauze packing and drainage, which brings great pain to patients, possibly leading to wound enlargement and delayed healing. At present, there is lack of auxiliary tools to improve gauze packing. Therefore, we developed and designed a gauze filler for packing and drainage of various kinds of fistula and sinus pressure ulcers, the device has the following advantages: good drainage effect, simple operation, low cost, safety and effectiveness. It not only improves the comfort of patients, reduces the number of dressing changes, reduce the number of dressing changes, shorten the hospitalization time and pay expense, but also reduces the burden of medical workers thus it is worthwhile to popularize and apply the newly designed gauze filler in clinical practice.
