Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the use of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in high risk surgical wounds to evaluate the rate of surgical site infections (SSIs).

Hypothesis:

Historically, the average rates of infective complications in surgical wounds types are 7.7% in clean wounds, 15% for contaminated and 35-40% for dirty wounds. The application of Prevena ™ Incision Management System (Kinetic Concepts Inc, San Antonio, TX) is expected to reduce these rates by 50%.
