January 2025

Biomedical Engineering Department, Faculty of Engineering, Helwan University, Cairo, Egypt.

Car accidents, infections caused by bacteria or viruses, metastatic lesions, tumors, and malignancies are the most frequent causes of chest wall damage, leading to the removal of the affected area. After excision, artificial bone or synthetic materials are used in chest wall reconstruction to restore the skeletal structure of the chest. Chest implants have traditionally been made from metallic materials like titanium alloys due to their biocompatibility and durability.

Background: The presence of heavy microbial colony formation, polymicrobial infection, and local altered pH contribute to the high rate of postoperative complications following surgical reconstruction of stage IV pressure injuries (PIs).

Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine the rate of bacteria-related postoperative complications following surgical reconstruction of stage IV PIs in which a pure hypochlorous acid (pHA) antimicrobially preserved wound cleaning solution was used.

Methods: This 1-year retrospective review evaluated the outcomes of patients who underwent surgical reconstructive treatment of chronic stage IV PI.
