NCT02399111

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to investigate if a new negative pressure incision (surgical cut) management system, could reduce the occurrence of groin wound infections after vascular surgery. This is a single use, sterile dressing that is applied to the patient's skin. It has an attached battery-powered unit that provides negative pressure (a vacuum environment) to the dressing and a disposable canister for the collection of wound fluids. The patient is being asked to participate in this study because the patient is planning to have a vascular surgery procedure that involves groin incision.

Interventions

The PIMS unit is a single patient use, battery-powered, disposable unit that delivers continuous negative 125 mmHg pressure to the closed surgical incision for a 7-day therapy period. It is an easy to use device that also provides audible and visual alerts for low battery, maximum canister volume, and leak conditions. Additional alerts include system error and device life-cycle expiration (8 days). It is contained in a water-resistant housing, which allows the Subject to lightly shower with the device. Wound fluids are contained within the 45 mL canister. For the purposes of this clinical investigation, canisters can be replaced as often as is needed. A carrying case is also provided with the therapy unit, to allow for patient mobility during the therapy period.
