No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Negative pressure dressings are currently widely used in wound management. Their use is gradually being extended to surgical scars. However, studies demonstrating a clear benefit are rare, particularly in terms of postoperative discharge, the need for surgical revision due to prolonged oozing and cost.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the benefit of such a device in post-operative revision prosthesis surgery (hip and knee), as well as lower limb amputations.

Conditions

  • Arthroplasty Complications
  • Amputation
  • Prosthesis-Related Infections

Interventions

DEVICE

Prevena TM

A Prevena Plus DuoTM Dressing Kit (KCI) is applied on the surgical wound at the end of surgery.

DEVICE

Dry dressing

A standard dry sterile dressingwith non-adherent absorbent pad is applied on the surgical wound at the end of surgery
