NCT03698968

Brief Summary

The study is being conducted to evaluate the safe and effective use of the PICO 7 system in surgically closed incision sites and wounds requiring closure by skin graft or flap as part of the PMCF plan for this product, for the purpose of continuing CE (Conformité Européene) Mark approval in accordance with MEDDEV 2.12-2

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Functional clinical performance of the PICO 7 NPWT system through delivery of negative pressure

    Negative pressure maintenance at nominal 80 mmHg as assessed as the average of the negative pressure values recorded by the device microchip

    7 Days

  • Functional clinical performance of the PICO 7 NPWT system through wound exudate management

    Number of NPWT systems with no occurrence of exudate leaks as assessed through a combination of leakage alert data from device microchip and/or clinical data on any leakage observed during the dressing wearing period resulting or not, in an unplanned dressing change

    7 Days

  • Composite Clinical Success

    Composite Clinical Success (CCS) defined as a binary variable (1/0) (1 if both of the following are true and 0 if at least one of the two is false): A. Nominal pressure is in the interval 80mmHg ± 7mmHg B. No leakage

    7 Days

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • Number of participants with incidence of Surgical Site Infection (SSI) - Superficial, deep. [CDC criteria]

    30 Days

  • Number of participants with incidence of Surgical Site Complications (SSC) - dehiscence (superficial/deep etc.), seroma, necrosis, hematoma, suture abscess

    30 Days

  • Percentage of successful skin graft take or flap survival at Days 7, 14 and 30

    30 Days

  • Visual inspection of peri-wound skin condition

    30 Days

  • Visual Analog Scale (VAS) - pain

    30 Days

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (1)

Single prospective intervention

OTHER
Device: Negative Pressure Wound Therapy

Interventions

Single use disposable negative pressure system. The system is capable of delivering up to 80 mm Hg negative pressure to a wound or surgical incision site and managing low to moderate levels of exudate or fluid generated by the wound or incision. The therapy may be administered for up to 1 week.

Single prospective intervention

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • The subject must provide written informed consent
  • Subjects eighteen (18) years of age or older.
  • Willing and able to make all required study visits.
  • Able to follow instructions.
  • Subject is suitable to participate in the study in the opinion of the Investigator
  • Subject has a suitable, closed abdominal or knee surgery incision skin flap or skin graft (STSG, meshed or non-meshed) (if there is more than one incision then the clinician should choose the one which in their opinion is most suited to PICO therapy), that fits under the absorbent dressing area of the appropriate PICO 7 dressing supplied.

You may not qualify if:

  • Contraindications (per the PICO 7 IFU) or hypersensitivity to the use of the investigational product or their components (e.g. silicone adhesives and polyurethane films \[direct contact with incision\], acrylic adhesives \[direct contact with skin\], polyethylene fabrics and super-absorbent powders \[polyacrylates\]) within the dressing).
  • Subjects with extremely fragile skin who require the use of SECURA non-sting barrier skin wipes and have hypersensitivity to the ingredients in the wipes
  • Participation in the treatment period of another clinical trial within thirty (30) days of operative visit or during the study.
  • Subjects with skin features (e.g. tattoos, skin colour, pre-existing scarring) which in the opinion of the Investigator, will interfere with the study assessments.
  • Patients undergoing a procedure as part of palliative care (to be confirmed during surgery).
  • Subjects with incisions or skin grafts that are actively bleeding unless haemostasis has been achieved (to be confirmed during surgery).
  • Subjects with infected skin grafts or incisions at the time of surgery (except for those with perforated bowel or peritonitis).
  • Subjects who have participated previously in this clinical trial
  • Subjects with a history of poor compliance with medical treatment.
  • Subjects with skin grafts to correct pressure ulcers where compression therapy is needed for healing (based on clinicians expertise).
  • Subjects with a medical or physical condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would preclude safe subject participation in the study.
