Trial Outcomes & Findings for Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing Versus Closed-incision Negative Pressure Therapy in the Obese Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty (NCT NCT03345771)

NCT ID: NCT03345771

Last Updated: 2022-04-22

Results Overview

A patient is asked to indicate his/her perceived scar severity along a 100 mm horizontal line, and this rating is then measured from the left edge (=VAS score). The total score range is 0 (worst possible scar) to 100 (best possible scar); the higher the score, the better the scarring.

Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing
postoperative wound dressing with either anti-microbial dressing placed in the operating room from surgery to postoperative day 7 Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing: Ionic Silver is a soft, nonwoven pad or ribbon that features the gelling benefits of Hydrofiber technology plus antimicrobial ionic silver.
Closed-incision Negative Pressure Therapy
portable NPWT device placed in the operating room from surgery to postoperative day 7 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT): PICO provides suction known as negative Pressure wound Therapy (NPWT) which draws out excess fluid from a wound and protects the injured area from getting dirty to ultimately help promote healing. PICO consists of an nPwT pump connected to an absorbent gentle adhesive dressing

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 8

WES is a 6-item scale. Items 1-5 are scored 0 (yes) or 1 (no), and item 6 is scored 0 (poor) or 1 (acceptable). The total score range is 0-6; the higher the score, the more optimal the wound healing.
