Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
ACTIVE_COMPARATOR: Control
Currently, the standard of care for Cesarean section patients includes covering the closed incision with a sterile bandage to reduce the chance of infection, and approximately 48 hours of post-op hospitalization and wound surveillance.
The "control" group will receive post-operative wound dressings consistent with the current standard of care.
|
Device: Steri3X This study will initially attempt to recruit pregnant patients at the Regional One Health outpatient obstetrics clinic, at which point they will be randomly assigned to one of two cohorts. Participants who are consented to participate in the study will receive a chart flag in the EMR so that they may receive the proper intraoperative and postoperative treatment(s). Patients randomized to receive the control wound dressing will have the current standard of care dressing applied in the operating room after closure of the Cesarean section incision. Participants of both arms will be monitored postoperatively to assess for signs and symptoms of postoperative surgical site infection(s). |
EXPERIMENTAL: Experimental
Patients randomized to the Experimental group will receive treatment with Steri3x immediately following closure of the Cesarean section incision.
Participants in the experimental group will receive approximately 48 hours of post-op hospitalization and wound surveillance.
