Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Healing of the wound at the 7th day after operation

    1 week

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Pain, Comfort, and satisfication of the device

    one week

  • Long term wound condition

    three months

Study Arms (2)

Negative pressure drainage system

EXPERIMENTAL

Negative pressure drainage system

Device: Negative pressure drainage system

Indirect wet dressing group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Indirect wet dressing

Device: Indirect wet dressing

Interventions

a close system surgical drain was placed over the graft with the length equal to the wound size. A silicon penrose drain with side holes on it covered the surgical drain to prevent direct contact of transparent film and the surgical drain, which led to poor drainage function. The penrose drains were excluded from the system during the test period due to the same function of a close system surgical drain with and without a penrose drain. A transparent film was place over the graft and drains and over a margin of the surrounding healthy skin.

Negative pressure drainage system

The recipient site wound is covered with sulfa-tula first and then wet gauze.
