Indigenous Negative Pressure Wound Therapy: A Low-cost Equivalent Alternative to Conventional Vacuum-assisted Closure Therapy – A Prospective Randomized Open-blind Endpoint Study

The study found that indigenous VAC therapy reduced wound healing time significantly. Both therapies had similar wound management outcomes, with minor differences in wound bed score parameters. However, conventional therapy displayed better wound healing progress. Complications were slightly lower but comparable in the indigenous group, suggesting indigenous VAC therapy as a cost-effective and safe alternative to conventional VAC therapy.
