PICO Dressing
PICO Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (Smith and Nephew Healthcare, Hull, United Kingdom) is a non-significant-risk, FDA Class II, medical device commercially available in the USA. The PICO unit is a single patient use, battery-powered, disposable unit that can provide continuous 80 - 125 mmHg negative pressure over a 5 to 7-day therapy period.
PICO Negative Pressure Wound Therapy
The PICO unit is a single patient use, battery-powered, disposable unit that can provide continuous 80 - 125 mmHg negative pressure over a 5 to 7-day therapy period.The dressing is applied to the wound and extra strips are placed over the outside edge to help hold the dressing in place. When the pump is turned on, air is pulled out of the dressing and excess fluid from the wound will start to enter the dressing.
Standard Dressing
The standard-of-care is consistent with the national standard for dressing Cesarean section incisions and includes, but not limited to, coverage of the sutured incision with sterile gauze and non-penetrable barrier (e.g., Tegaderm™). The non-penetrable barrier may be left in place for a minimum of 1 day and no longer than 2 days (± 4 hours) to promote epithelialization of the surgical incision edges. After the dressing is removed, the surgical site is left exposed to air to promote further healing.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study; willing and able to return for all scheduled and required study visits
* Female, aged 18 - 55 years
* BMI ≥ 35 kg/m2 in the 42 days prior to surgery
* In good general health as evidenced by medical history with a 24 - 41 weeks gestational age pregnancy scheduled for cesarean delivery for any routine indication (repeat procedure, breech presentation, abnormal placentation, uterine anomaly, maternal medical condition, or elective)
* Surgical skin site preparation with chlorhexidine gluconate solution (ChloraPrep©)
* Received preoperative surgical prophylaxis antibiotics as per protocol
* Surgical incision that can be covered completely by the NPWT skin system
* Pre-operatively assessed to undergo a procedure with a CDC Wound Classification of:
a. Class I (Clean): An uninfected operative wound in which no inflammation is encountered and the respiratory, alimentary, genital, or uninfected urinary tract is not entered
* OR - b. Class II (Clean Contaminated): An operative wound in which the respiratory, alimentary, genital, or uninfected urinary tract are entered under controlled conditions and without unusual contamination
* Wound hemostasis has been achieved
Exclusion Criteria
* Unplanned Cesarean delivery
* Intrauterine fetal demise
* Known allergic reactions to components of the PICO NPWT system
* Systemic bacterial or fungal infection at the time of surgery
* Diagnosis of systemic or remote-site skin infections at time of delivery
* Treatment with another investigational drug or other intervention within 7 days prior to cesarean delivery or 42 +/- 10 days after cesarean delivery
* Delivery for suspected intrauterine infection (defined as maternal fever plus one clinical criteria)
* Critical illness or immune-compromising disease (eg acquired immunodeficiency syndrome)
* Chronic steroid use
* Pre-operatively assessed to have a CDC Wound Classification of:
Class III (Contaminated): Open, fresh, accidental wounds, and/or major breaks in sterile technique or gross spillage from the gastrointestinal tract
* OR - Class IV (Dirty-Infected): Old traumatic wounds with retained devitalized tissue and those that involve existing clinical infection or perforated viscera
* High-risk for anesthesia (American Society of Anesthesiologists \[ASA\] class P4 - P6)
* Intra-operative hemorrhage requiring blood transfusion, disseminated-intravascular coagulopathy (DIC) or any other medical or surgical condition during the Cesarean section deemed by the investigator to pose a prohibitively high risk for surgical re-exploration
* Unable to speak or understand English, with no interpreter available.
