https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/clinical-discussions/26895/cavity-dressings Does anyone have experience of using these? Are they any good? How are they removed etc. We have had a few surgical cases with a lot of dead space and wondering if there are occassions when cavvity dressings may be a better alternative/addition toen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/156067?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 05 Oct 2014 10:52:11 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:762fe7e7-f5fc-449c-abdd-c454e6b4a81dSteph Smith BSc(hons) RVN<p>Brilliant, &nbsp;thanks Nick!</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/155490?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 14 Sep 2014 22:30:29 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:89060fe5-77a6-4ac1-865c-d68b0178efdaNick Shackleton <p>When you say cavity I&#39;m guessing you mean subcut dead spaces for example after large mass removal?? Have you looked at fenestrated negative pressure drains. Basically it&#39;s a tube with multiple holes in it. To the end a plastic bulb is attached. Before attaching the bulb air is expelled creating negative pressure drawing fluid and air outta the wound site.
