Abstract

Background: Open traumatic wounds often require Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) for treatment. The CBH-KMITL Ambulatory Negative Pressuring Device (CKANPD), a cost-effective, portable NPWT device, has been developed to address the limitations of conventional devices.

Objective: This study of 48 patients aimed to compare the CKANPD and conventional NPWT devices in terms of granulation tissue formation rate and infection rates.

Methods: A double-blind randomized controlled trial was conducted. The primary outcome was the rate of granulation tissue formation, with secondary outcomes including infection rates and patient satisfaction.

Results: The CKANPD group demonstrated a significantly higher rate of granulation tissue formation after one week of NPWT (93.09 ±4.76% vs 88.41 ±5.71%, p=0.004). No significant difference was observed in wound size reduction between the two methods. Both methods had an infection rate of 0, indicating excellent safety profiles.

Conclusion: The CKANPD is a non-inferior alternative to conventional NPWT devices, promoting faster granulation tissue formation without increasing infection risk. These promising results pave the way for the next phase of study in outpatient settings, aligning with the primary goal of CKANPD development. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and assess long-term outcomes.
