Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the role of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) vs standard sterile gauze therapy on the incidence of surgical site infections (SSI) in primarily closed groin incisions in high risk patients undergoing any open common femoral artery exposure for a vascular surgery procedure.

Description:

Eligible patients are randomized pre-operatively into either a standard dressing or NPWT for the groin incision. - 1 The control group receive a standard sterile gauge dressing over the groin incision. The dressing is removed on post-operative day #2 and the wound is inspected for a SSI or dehiscence, followed by daily dressing changes and wound inspections until discharge. - 2 The intervention group will receive a NPWT dressing which will be applied in the operating room under sterile conditions. The NPWT dressing will be removed on Post operative day 5. The wound is inspected for a SSI or dehiscence, followed by daily dressing changes and wound inspections until discharge.

• Infection
• Surgical Site Infection
• Surgical Wound Infection

Intervention

Device:
• Negative Pressure Pressure Wound Therapy
Investigators will be using a Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Powered Suction Pump on primarily closed groin wounds after open common femoral artery exposure, The Negative pressure dressing will be applied in a sterile fashion in the operating room. The negative pressure dressing will be removed at day 5 postoperatively, or at discharge, whichever occurs first.

Procedure:
• Standard Wound Care
Standard sterile gauze coverage of the primarily closed groin wound.
