Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy for Free Flap Donor Sites
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating PICO Single Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy System and xeroform gauze for Surgical Wound. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Various management options for free flap donor sites that require split thickness skin grafting exist. None has proven superior from both a patient care and a cost standpoint. Major complications occurring at these surgical sites include wound breakdown, tendon exposure, and loss of function. We seek to investigate the use of the PICO single-use negative pressure wound therapy device in these surgical sites and determine if it can yield superior results to simpler methods.
