First seen Jun 12, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a special vacuum dressing (negative pressure wound therapy) helps wounds heal better after major leg amputations. 158 adults who had a leg amputation (not due to injury) took part. The goal was to see if this dressing reduces problems like infection, reopening of the wound, or the need for more surgery.
