Treatment
Micro/nanobubble (MNB) - Irrigation
An MNB solution will be used as an irrigation solution to improve wound oxygenation in ischemic tissue (e.g. ischemic surgical tissue, traumatic wounds, and failing replants). The MNB solution will be used in wet-to-dry wound care dressings with daily scheduled dressing changes.
Arms:
Acute Wounds - Experimental
0.9% Normal Saline - Irrigation
A normal saline solution will be used as an irrigation solution to improve wound oxygenation in ischemic tissue (e.g. ischemic surgical tissue, traumatic wounds, and failing replants). The normal saline solution will be used in wet-to-dry wound care dressings with daily scheduled dressing changes.
Arms:
Acute Wounds - Control
Micro/nanobubble (MNB) - Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Instillation (NPWTi)
NPWTi with MNB will be applied to the wound with 20-minute instillation periods every 3 hours (standard instillation settings) with dressing changes every 3-5 days.
Arms:
Chronic Wounds - Experimental
0.9% Normal Saline - Negative Pressure Wound Therapy with Instillation (NPWTi)
NPWTi with normal saline will be applied to the wound with 20-minute instillation periods every 3 hours (standard instillation settings) with dressing changes every 3-5 days.
Arms:
Chronic Wounds - Control
