Anorectal Surgeries Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Prospective, Randomized, Parallel Study Comparing Transdermal, Continuous Oxygen Delivery to Standard of Care to Assess Postoperative Wound Infection Rate in Colon and Rectal Resections
EPIFLO® unit along with standard wound care vs only standard wound care for Surgical site infections (SSI).
Anorectal procedures more often lead to surgical site infections. Such infections are unfortunately frequent and can be difficult for the patient and the treating physician. Wound hypoxia has been identified as a pathogenic mechanism behind wound infection and poor healing. Transdermal oxygen delivery (EPIFLO) is intended to promote the healing process in chronic wounds as an adjunct to standard wound care in wound management and treatment ;
