A Comparative Study to Assess the Prevention of Surgical Site Infection (SSI's) in Revision Total Joint Arthroplasty Patients Treated With Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (PICO™) or Standard Care Dressings (AQUACEL® Ag SURGICAL Dressing)

April 10, 2018 updated by: Rothman Institute Orthopaedics

A Prospective, Randomized, Comparative Study to Assess the Prevention of Surgical Site Infection (SSI's) in Revision Total Joint Arthroplasty Patients Treated With Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (PICO™) or Standard Care Dressings (AQUACEL® Ag SURGICAL Dressing)

The aim of this study is to assess the prevention of incision healing complications in patients undergoing revision TKA and THA treated with either Single-Use NPWT (PICO) compared to standard of care dressings (AQUACEL Ag Surgical Dressing). All patients undergoing a revision TKA and THA who consent to taking part in the study, and meet the eligibility criteria will be included onto the study. Patients will be followed up for a period of up to 3 months to determine if there are any latent incision healing complications
