Trial Outcomes & Findings for Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Free Flap Donor Sites (NCT NCT03340025)

NCT ID: NCT03340025

Last Updated: 2021-07-30

Results Overview

Comparison of photographs of all participants' wounds taken at post-operative Day 5, post-operative Day 14-21, and post-operative Day 30. Percentage skin graft take will be evaluated on Day 30 by blinded, independent raters. A 10x10 grid was digitally overlain on each image. The de-identified images were randomized and given to two independent raters. The raters used three criteria to assess each graft. Overall graft appearance was graded on a 1-5 scale, percent of graft take was estimated, and the presence of exposed tendon was noted for each timepoint.
