Despite the many advantages of this therapy, it has some limitations, including the lack of bactericidal activity. Hence, NPWT is combined with antibacterial products. One of them is the gentamicin-collagen sponge, presented in the three cases described below. The combination of the gentamicin-collagen sponge with NPWT may be beneficial in difficult wounds with a high risk of infection, and also in patients with impaired wound healing.</p> Bartosz Jan Grzechulski Tomasz Banasiewicz Copyright (c) 2023 Bartosz Jan Grzechulski, Tomasz Banasiewicz http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-05-15 2023-05-15 10 1 4 7 10.18487/npwtj.v10i1.69
