Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a prospective, multi-center, two-arm, unblinded, and randomized controlled trial with a goal of evaluating the impact of a closed incision negative pressure dressing (PREVENA) on incidence of post-operative wound complications and medical costs in patients undergoing lower extremity amputation.


Description:

This is a prospective, multi-center, two-arm, unblinded, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a closed incision negative pressure dressing (PREVENA™ PEEL & PLACE™ Dressing Kit) on incidence of post-operative wound complications in patients undergoing above-the-knee (AKA) or below-the-knee (BKA) amputation. Up to 440 subjects at approximately five (5) participating sites will be randomized to receive either the Prevena dressing or a standard care dressing. The incision will be assessed for complications at post-op day 5 or day 6 and at approximately 30 days after discharge. The primary outcome of this study is reported wound complications, including dehiscence (opening of the incision), seroma, lymph leak, infection (deep or superficial), hematoma (blood clots), ischemia (decreased blood supply), and necrosis (tissue death) A major complication is defined as any wound complication requiring intravenous or oral antibiotics, reoperation and/or hospital readmission. All data (demographics, medical history, and clinical outcomes) will be collected via medical record review

Study Design


Intervention

Device:
PREVENA™ PEEL & PLACE™ Dressing Kit
In combination with a negative pressure pump (V.A.C. ® Therapy Unit, KCI USA, Inc.), the Prevena dressing is designed to provide negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) over surgical incisions (incisional NPWT).

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other 30-day hospitalization costs Index hospitalization costs as well as all readmission days within 30d related to any wound complication admission to discharge; 30 days post procedure
