The whole wound was filled with black foam (Granufoam®, KCI). The instillation was performed via gravity from i.v. bag through a drain put within the foam. Chlorhexidine 0.1% 300 ml in 700 ml saline was used for continuous instillation three times daily (3 L per day) on the background of continuous pressure of 125 mmHg. The dressing changes were performed every 48-72 hours.
The wound was filled with black foam (Granufoam®, KCI) and covered with plastic folio. A continuous pressure of 125 mmHg was applied using the hospital suction system. The dressing changes were performed every 48 hours.
