Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing Versus Closed-incision Negative Pressure Therapy in the Obese Primary Total Joint Arthroplasty
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Antimicrobial Barrier Dressing and Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) for Osteoarthritis. Completed, enrolled 230 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine whether an occlusive antimicrobial barrier dressing or portable negative pressure wound dressing is superior in preventing wound complications and infection rates in obese patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Approximately 240 subjects (120 for total knee arthroplasty and 120 for total hip arthroplasty) will be enrolled to evaluate the outcomes associated with silver impregnated dressings and negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in treating this subset of patients and analyze the cost benefit of each.

Ionic Silver is a soft, nonwoven pad or ribbon that features the gelling benefits of Hydrofiber technology plus antimicrobial ionic silver.
PICO provides suction known as negative Pressure wound Therapy (NPWT) which draws out excess fluid from a wound and protects the injured area from getting dirty to ultimately help promote healing. PICO consists of an nPwT pump connected to an absorbent gentle adhesive dressing
