I have a patient who had a failed mesh placement and a panniculectomy and who has developed at least three separate fistulas with a very large amount of output (3-4 L/24 hrs). Any suggestions? I am using an Eakin wound management pouch hooked up to wall suction.

Kinetic Concepts Inc (San Antonio, TX) announced that the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare (MHLW) will grant regulatory approval of market development activities at the Pharmaceutical and Medical Devices Agency (PMDA) in Japan for its V.A.C.® Therapy product.
The company anticipates the MHLW will ensure that all necessary regulatory steps have been addressed before the application is taken to the Minister’s Office for a signature. Following regulatory approval, the company expects reimbursement will be provided in the first half of 2010. Once reimbursement approval is obtained, the company will officially begin marketing the therapy in Japan. The company’s vision is to transform wound care in Japan by delivering advanced healing solutions and clinical know-how in a way that produces unparalleled outcomes.
