Article Synopsis
- A case study detailed the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) for treating an infected fingertip soft tissue defect, which is a relatively newer treatment option that became covered by insurance in Japan in 2010.
- Despite ongoing antibiotic therapy, the patient's wound healing was slow until NPWT was applied, resulting in improved infection signs and successful tissue healing within 7 weeks.
- NPWT presents a less complex treatment alternative compared to traditional surgical methods, suggesting that it could be accessible and effective for managing infected fingertip wounds when other options are not viable.
