NCT02443272 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 81

Last updated 2016-04-19

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare abscess drainage utilizing the vessel loop technique in children to the standard incision and drainage technique with the endpoint to determine if rates of treatment failure are non-inferior.

Conditions

  • Abscess of Skin and/or Subcutaneous Tissue

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Vessel Loop Drainage

Minimally invasive approach will utilize a vesi-loop device for the vessel loop drainage technique by placing 2 peripheral stab incisions into the abscess with a tunnel through the abscess cavity, and loop passed through the tunnel and tied atop the skin.

PROCEDURE

Incision and Drainage

Standard of care treatment will utilize incision and drainage over the center of the abscess cavity with or without packing at physicians discretion.
