Incision and Loop Drainage Utilizing a Novel Technique for Management of Cutaneous Abscess in an Adult Population

Abscess Clinical Trial

Official title:
Incision and Loop Drainage Utilizing a Novel Technique for Management of Cutaneous Abscess in an Adult Population: A Randomized Control Trial

Clinical Trial Summary

When using the rolled ring of a sterile glove as a loop drain in incision and loop drainage, is it superior to incision and drainage for treatment of a cutaneous abscess in 18 to 65 year-old patients presenting to the Emergency Department, Family Health Clinic, Family Medicine Residency Clinic, or Internal Medicine Clinic? Hypothesis: When treating a cutaneous abscess, incision and loop drainage utilizing the rolled ring of a sterile glove as a loop drain is superior to the standard (incision and drainage) yielding a treatment failure rate of 1% at seven to ten days.

Clinical Trial Description

Practicing medicine in an austere environment is fraught with challenges. One primary challenge is that clinicians will frequently be practicing without the supplies needed for specific indicated purpose. For treatment of a cutaneous abscess, sterile gloves are readily available whether at home or when deployed. It can be much more difficult to come across a penrose or vessel loop. In addition, follow up for wound repacking and reassessment is a struggle. Patients may have to move from location to location or have work hours that make it difficult to return to the clinic. The loop technique utilizing the rolled ring of a sterile glove solves both of these problems. Sterile gloves are always available and the Loop technique requires little to no follow up. Additional benefits include: subjects may experience less pain, improved cosmesis, faster healing, and decreased complication rates with incision and loop drainage utilizing the rolled ring of a sterile glove compared to traditional incision and drainage. ;
