Objective To introduce the production method, treatment effect and application advantages of a self-designed folded negative pressure suction device. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical cases of hospitalization and self-made wound negative pressure suction treatment in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of our hospital. The patients diagnosis and treatment information, including age, gender, wound negative pressure suction treatment, and wound recovery after treatment, was collected. The above results were statistically analyzed to explain the efficacy and application experience of the self-made folded negative pressure suction device. Results A total of 15 patients were included, including 14 males and 1 female, all of whom were patients with poor postoperative incision healing after chest surgery. Among them, 7 cases were cured after negative pressure suction treatment, and 8 cases were cured after negative pressure suction treatment and debridement and suture. All patients were discharged smoothly after wound healing, and the follow-up was good. Conclusion The folded self-made negative pressure suction device is simple and effective to use, and is not prone to air leakage, liquid leakage, or loosening. It can provide relevant experience reference for clinical wound negative pressure suction treatment.
