Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Devices With Instillation/Irrigation: A Technologic Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The additional option of instillation or irrigation available with some NPWT devices may provide clinical benefits in carefully selected patients. Advantages may be related to facilitated removal of thick exudate and necrotic tissue. Devices with instillation options are indicated for inpatient settings, with ongoing monitoring of health care professionals. A simpler device with an intermittent irrigation option may be used in the home setting, with proper supervision. More research is needed to demonstrate the clinical effectiveness and cost of the therapy. (Source: Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing)

Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Devices: A Technologic Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: Single-use or disposable negative pressure wound therapy devices provide a safe and effective alternative to traditional negative pressure wound therapy. These devices promote healing of select open wounds and reduce complication rates in closed surgical incisions, when used in accordance with manufacturer guidelines. They may be used in any setting, but they are designed for use in home care and may be applied as a primary treatment option or following a course of traditional negative pressure wound therapy.

Bowel Emptying Methods Used by German Residents Living With Spina Bifida
CONCLUSIONS: Rectal irrigation was the most common method for bowel evacuation. Participants were less likely to employ potentially effective and more conservative measures for intestinal emptying, such as toilet training/timed evacuation associated with Valsalva maneuvers, abdominal press, abdominal massage, and digital rectal stimulation. Additional comparative studies with more participants and other countries with intestinal emptying methods are needed to better understand the needs of individuals with spina bifida and their families and to improve the health-related quality of life of these people.
