	Use of Ohio Medical NPWT to Treat Surgical Hip Wound - Download PDF Arsene Belvis PT, WCC, Rich Latane MS, PT Evergreen Healthcare Center, Evergreen Park, IL Case: A case is presented of a 90 year old male patient with a Open Reduction and Internal Fixation of a hip fracture. The wound was treated with Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) using the Ohio Medical MoblVac® and a silver dressing because of history of patient infection. Gauze dressing was applied over the silver contact layer. Intermittent NPWT was applied. Because of the unique properties of the silver contact layer, dressings were changed only twice a week. Using this NPWT device and treatment scheme, rapid healing occurred within 8 weeks, after which NPWT was discontinued and the wound was treated with traditional methods. Conclusion: The Ohio Medical NPWT System with TruSeal™ Link technology provided rapid wound healing, reduced dressing changes and nursing time.
