NCT ID: NCT03144726 Not yet recruiting - Infection Clinical Trials

RCT on NPWT for Incisions Following Major Lower-limb Amputation to Reduce Surgical Site Infection

Start date: March 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Surgical site infections following lower extremity amputations have been reported in up to 40% of patients. Surgical site infections have significant morbidity and even mortality in terms of emergency room visits, length of hospital stay, reamputation rates and death. Since its introduction, negative pressure wound therapy has been demonstrated to promote wound healing and possibly decreasing the need for future amputations. The aim of the study is to provide level I evidence for the use of negative pressure wound therapy devices in patients undergoing lower extremity amputation.
