Popis: Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) using reticulated open cell foam dressing (ROCF) is effective for treatment of recalcitrant wounds; however, the effects of this therapy on cellular metabolism remain to be elucidated. The effect of two different subatmospheric pressure applications on the cell energetics of human fibroblasts grown in a 3D fibrin matrix was studied using two different pressure-manifolding materials, an ROCF or gauze under suction (GUS). It was found that levels of cytochrome c oxidase, energy charge, and adenosine triphosphate/adenosine diphosphate were significantly increased following the application of NPWT using ROCF vs. GUS (p
