Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
Combined TopClosure & Vcare Alpha Treatment
The investigators will debride the wound if necessary. Wound biopsies will be taken to determine the existing pathogens and direct the antibiotic treatment. Wound measurements will be taken. Afterwards the wound will be approximated by the TopClosure device and the patient will be connected to a Negative Wound pressure device Vcare Alpha. The investigators will change dressings according to schedule. If the wound is clean the investigators will change dressings every 3-5 days, If the wound is infected the investigators will change dressings every 2-4 days, If the investigators encounter a severe infected wound with a lot of pus the investigators will change dressings every 1-3 days, The investigators will determine the time to heal when the wound is clean and there is no further need for Negative Pressure Wound Treatment (ROI-NPT) up to 10 weeks.
