Abstract
Introduction
Different kinds of soft tissue defects in the limbs can cause lots of clinical problems which are difficult to solve the situation becomes more bad when wounds infected or are with exposed of tendons or bones.
Previously the wounds were treated with debridement to gain proliferation of granulation tissue and then closure of wounds with skin grafts.
The wound is very and the leakage of fluids its odour will lead to painful and inconvenient to both doctors and patients. The dressing needs to be changed regularly and it spends time. it also cause slow growth of granulation tissue too much infective liquid and easy to infect.
