Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the role of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) vs standard sterile gauze therapy on the incidence of surgical site infections (SSI) in primarily closed groin incisions in high risk patients undergoing any open common femoral artery exposure for a vascular surgery procedure.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eligible patients are randomized pre-operatively into either a standard dressing or NPWT for the groin incision.

* 1 The control group receive a standard sterile gauge dressing over the groin incision. The dressing is removed on post-operative day #2 and the wound is inspected for a SSI or dehiscence, followed by daily dressing changes and wound inspections until discharge.
* 2 The intervention group will receive a NPWT dressing which will be applied in the operating room under sterile conditions. The NPWT dressing will be removed on Post operative day 5. The wound is inspected for a SSI or dehiscence, followed by daily dressing changes and wound inspections until discharge.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Patient fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be randomized into a standard gauze therapy group or a negative pressure wound therapy group.
Primary Study Purpose

PREVENTION

Blinding Strategy

NONE

As this intervention necessitated the use of an external negative wound therapy device, masking is not possible

Study Groups

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

Standard gauze therapy

The control group will receive a standard sterile gauge dressing over the groin incision. The dressing will be removed on post-operative day #2 and the wound will be inspected for any complications, followed by daily dressing changes and wound inspections until discharge.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard Wound Care

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Standard sterile gauze coverage of the primarily closed groin wound.

Negative Pressure wound therapy

The intervention group will receive a negative pressure dressing which will be applied in the operating room under sterile conditions. The brand of negative pressure dressing will be based on surgeon preference or center availability. The NPWT dressing will be removed on day 5 postoperatively or at discharge, whichever occurs first, and the groin wound inspected for any evidence of infection or dehiscence, and daily thereafter until discharge.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Negative Pressure Pressure Wound Therapy

Intervention Type DEVICE

Investigators will be using a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Powered Suction Pump on primarily closed groin wounds after open common femoral artery exposure, The Negative pressure dressing will be applied in a sterile fashion in the operating room. The negative pressure dressing will be removed at day 5 postoperatively, or at discharge, whichever occurs first.
