The 'sandwich technique' in the management of the open abdomen.

Schein M, Saadia R, Jamieson JR, Decker GA.

A management technique of the open abdominal wound is described. It consists of a 'sandwich' composed of a Marlex mesh and an Op-Site wound dressing with interposition of suction tubes. Such a technique prevents evisceration, protects the skin, decreases evaporation, allows accurate fluid replacement, facilitates nursing and adds to the patient's comfort.
