This is repeated until sufficient granulation tissue has formed, so that the tendon and bone tissue is no longer exposed (medical assessment). Subsequently, the patient is prepared for a split skin transplant. Here, a thin layer of skin is removed from an intact body site of the patient. This is by a Apparatus in its area increased by a multiple and fixed as a split skin graft on the ulcer wound.
- the negative pressure therapy is continued, wherein the suction body is not longer in use and the wound space completely with open-cell polyurethane foam (VivanoMed Foam), optionally in combination with a wound contact layer (for example Atrauman ® or Atrauman Ag ®, Paul Hartmann AG, Germany), is completed. Finally, the negative pressure therapy is stopped. The wound treatment with a hydrogel or hydrocolloid wound dressing (HydroTac ® or Hydrocoll ®, Paul Hartmann AG, Germany) continued until complete wound closure.
