HOCl acid has also been described as a wound cleanser. It has been shown to significantly reduce bioburden in peripheral open wounds, thereby assisting in their closure. However, intra-abdominal placement of HOCl has never been described to treat the open septic abdomen. The combination of the ABNPWT device system and the VAC Veraflo device allows for delivery of a set amount of irrigation in a timed manner. This combination in a patient with a septic abdomen proved pivotal in the resolution of the gross mucopurulence visualized in the abdomen.
