Preconditioning with Foam-mediated External Suction on Flap Microvasculature and Perfusion in a Rodent Model

Preconditioning with Foam-mediated External Suction on Flap Microvasculature and Perfusion in a Rodent Model

Background:. Foam-mediated external suction (FMES) has previously shown to improve tissue microcirculation. We hypothesized that preconditioning fasciocutaneous perforator flaps with FMES would augment perfusion and demonstrate greater capillary recruitment. Methods:. Gluteal perforator flaps were d...
