In this 5-year retrospective review, we compared the use of Integra Meshed Bilayer Wound Matrix (IMBWM; Integra LifeSciences, US) followed by a split-thickness skin graft (STSG) combined with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) versus IMBWM followed by STSG alone for the management of these wounds. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Data from patients undergoing management using IMBWM for a complex extremity wound coverage were collected. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p> Among the 109 patients studied, the wounds of 62 patients were managed using IMBWM and NPWT, and 47 were managed using IMBWM alone. The most common aetiology of these injuries was trauma. Wound size and location were similar for each group, ranging in size from 2\u201330cm<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup> and being primarily on the forearm, followed by the leg and arm. There was a significantly greater take of the IMBWM+STSG with NPWT (96.8%) compared to without NPWT (85.1%, p=0.03). There were significantly fewer reapplications of the dermal matrix required in the NPWT group (3.2%) versus the non-NPWT group (14.9%, p=0.03). There were significantly fewer postoperative complications, prior to STSG, in the NPWT group (3.2%) versus the non-NPWT group (14.9%, p=0.03). <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p> The combination of IMBWM with NPWT leads to a higher success rate, and can reduce the number of dermal matrix reapplications and postoperative complications, in the setting of complex extremity wounds. The use of IMBWM in combination with NPWT has the potential to improve both surgical procedures and patient outcomes in this setting.
