From March 1984 to March 1987, a simple closed method, previously described
for the treatment of osteomyelitis after orthopedic operations, was used to
treat deep sternal infection in 11 patients. The basis of this technique
is, after meticulous debridement of the wound, to drain all the infected
areas with small catheters connected to a bottle inside of which a strong
(700 mm Hg) negative pressure is created (Redon drainage device). The
method does not require irrigation. The maximum duration of the drainage
was 24 days and complete recovery was obtained in all patients without
further surgical treatments. The comfort of the patients was optimal.
