The introduction of negative pressure wound therapy has improved OPEN ABDOMEN treatment in a wide range of ways. Unfortunatly, the handling of intestinal fistulae remains a serious problem. Therefore we developed in cooperation with doctors at University Hospital Magdeburg four types of fistula adapters for the management of enteroatmospheric fistulae.
In combination with vacuum therapy, the use of a fistula adapter presents a practicable and time-saving option for treating enteroatmospheric fistulae.
