Comparison of the Prevena™ IMS with the standard wound management method of sterile plaster in vascular surgery patients.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Prevena™ IMS

Prevena™ IMS is intended for the management of the surgical incision environment and surrounding healthy skin in patients with a risk of postoperative complications such as infections. This entails the maintenance of a closed environment around the incision by applying a negative pressure wound therapy system. The corresponding dressing is known under the name Prevena™ Dressing. The layer closest to the skin comprises silver foil, which reduces the microbial colonisation of cells.
