Clinical Trial Summary
The objective of the study is to measure the efficacy of the use of single-use portable
negative pressure therapy (PICO ®) in the prevention of surgical wound infections (SSI) from
cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation compared to single-use hydrocolloid
dressings "Aquacel Surgical".
Description:
Negative pressure therapy is a type of physical therapy for wound healing that is based on
the application of a negative pressure (void) in the wound bed.
Negative pressure therapy is based on the application of a subatmospheric pressure in the
wound bed to trigger a whole series of mechanisms, and that to a greater or lesser degree,
and in a synergistic manner, act by creating or improving the conditions for the healing
process to develop (negative pressure therapy).
All these mechanisms act by diminishing the possibility of creating an appropriate medium for
the growth of pathogenic germs.
Today, negative pressure therapy is also used to create ideal conditions in surgical wounds
to prevent or reduce the risk of local complications, is what we call incisional negative
pressure therapy.
