Negative-pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is used to promote wound closure or to prepare a wound for definite coverage. However, the anatomy of the hand makes it difficult to apply dressings that require an airtight seal. In this report, the authors describe the case of a patient with an extensive defect of his right hand and forearm who was treated with a free fibula osteocutaneous flap transfer.

The compressibility of crystalline tetrabromophthalic anhydride (TBPA) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium nitrate (EMN) was studied based on density functional theory including dispersion interactions at pressures below 1 GPa. It is found for the first time that EMN demonstrates negative linear compressibility (NLC) up to ∼0.15 GPa, whereas TBPA shows significant NLC at pressures higher than ∼0.
