Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed a multi-chambered liquid mass with a volume of 1000 cm3 (Fig. 1a). There was minimal fluid left over indicating that 4DryField  PH was highly effective in preventing seroma reformation (Fig. 1b).
Application strategy. a) 4DryField  PH applicator extended with shortened 12F anastetic tube to access seroma cavity center. b) A redon drain was inserted from one pole of original incision to the other to lift the skin. Tent-shaped lifting of skin allowed for even distribution of 4DryField  PH in the wound cavity.

With this action the cavity filled with air being essential for equal distribution of 4DryField  PH powder in the former seroma cavity (Fig. 2b). To access the central part of the cavity the 4DryField  PH applicator was extended with a 12F anesthetic tube (Fig. 2a).
