Brief Summary
Assessment of the effectiveness of negative pressure wound therapy on post-traumatic wounds, as regard to :
- The period of granulation tissue formation.
- The infection rate in NPWT in comparison to conventional dressing.
- The rate of graft take after NPWT.
- The length of hospital stay.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Granulation tissue formation
Healthy granulation tissue appears pink to red due to new capillary formation, soft to touch, moist appears "bumpy," and typically painless.
2 weeks
Graft Take
The graft take assessment by clinical examination
4 days after coverage
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Length of hospital stay
1 month
Study Arms (2)
Group A (Control Group)
will undergo conventional dressing daily until the wound is ready for reconstruction, Then coverage of the wound with conventional tie over for 4 days.
Group B (Experimental Group)
NPWT (MEDWAY GROUP VAC) will be applied on a continuous mode between -75 \& -150 mm Hg for 4 days per session for indefinite number of sessions until the wound is ready for reconstruction, Then it will be applied after coverage of the wound for 1 session.
Interventions
NPWT (MEDWAY GROUP VAC) will be applied on post traumatic raw areas until the wound is ready for reconstruction, Then it will be applied over skin graft after coverage
