Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of PTNi therapy versus PTN therapy without instillation in the treatment of infected surgical wounds. Investigators mean to verify differences of effectiveness between the different types of instilled substances, normal saline versus Amukine Med 0.5%.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PTNiA

Topical negative pressure therapy with instillation of saline solution (6 times daily).

During the instillation of saline solution, aspiration is stopped for 10-15 minutes and subsequently the device is programmed to exert a sub atmospheric pressure in aspiration of at least 50 mmHg up to a maximum of 200 mmHg.

The change of dressing is carried out on the first day after the application of the device, and thereafter, as needed (approximately every 3 or 4 days).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PTNiA

Intervention Type DEVICE

PTNiB

Topical negative pressure therapy with instillation of Amukine Med 0,05% (6 times daily).

During the instillation of Amukine Med 0,05%, aspiration is stopped for 10-15 minutes and subsequently the device is programmed to exert a sub atmospheric pressure in aspiration of at least 50 mmHg up to a maximum of 200 mmHg.

The change of dressing is carried out on the first day after the application of the device, and thereafter, as needed (approximately every 3 or 4 days).

Intervention Type DEVICE

PTN

Topical negative pressure therapy (without instillation). The device is programmed to exert a sub atmospheric pressure in aspiration of at least 50 mmHg up to a maximum of 200 mmHg.

The change of dressing is carried out on the first day after the application of the device, and thereafter, as needed (approximately every 3 or 4 days).
