Measure
Arthroplasty-naïve Aquacel Group
All subject's receive the same dressing, this group is comprised of patients consented to the study and will receive the Aquacel dressing but have not had previous joint replacement surgery. Therefore, we consider them the arthroplasty-naïve Aquacel group. Aquacel dressing: Patients will be recruited into the study after completing a standard questionnaire for pre-operative enrollment. After meeting inclusion criteria and passing the screening process, the patient will be enrolled into the study. Arthroplasty-naïve patients will be compared to prior total joint arthroplasty patients who received a Aquacel dressing postoperatively.
Prior Aquacel Group
All subject's receive the Aquacel dressing, this group is comprised of patients who have undergone previous joint replacement surgery (hip or knee) and have had a Aquacel dressing. This also includes patients who have had prior exposure to glue/mesh dressing either as a patient or healthcare worker. Aquacel dressing: Patients will be recruited into the study after completing a standard questionnaire for pre-operative enrollment. After meeting inclusion criteria and passing the screening process, the patient will be enrolled into the study. Arthroplasty-naïve patients will be compared to prior total joint arthroplasty patients who received a Aquacel dressing postoperatively.
