The patient underwent surgical removal of a sarcoma over the

sacrum with a flap closure and split thickness skin graft (STSG).

NPWT caused hyper-granulation when

placed over the STSG.

We were asked to get the wound closed

as quickly as possible so the patient

could undergo local radiation therapy.

He returned after local radiation with a small open wound

along the original suture line.

7 months later, this non healing area persisted along the

scar of the flap in the irradiated field.

The wound in the irradiated field along the suture line had

been open a total 9.5 months.

The Wound closed in 11 weeks after OxyBand treatments

began.
