Fasciotens®Abdomen system application for delayed primary fascial closure and observed physiological improvement of the patient
fasciotens®Abdomen was used in a middle-aged patient with severe peritonitis after small bowel perforation.
"Post-installation of the device, rapid improvements in respiratory dynamics, diuresis, stoma output, and hemodynamics were observed within hours, suggesting a profound impact on overall well-being. This cascade of physiological benefits hints at broader implications in optimising patient recovery."
- Overall stabilisation of the patient
- Successful fascial closure after 6 days of using the device
- increased renal output
- improvement of ventilation parameters
