Abstract
It has long been realized that NPWT does not make its greatest impact by bioburden reduction. Other work has demonstrated that debridement alone does not reduce wound bioburden by more than 1 Log. Wounds treated with NPWTi (in this case with quarter strength bleach instillation solution) had a statistically significant reduction in bioburden, while wounds treated with NPWT had an increase in bioburden over the 7 days.
