Alexis O-Ring Wound Retractor for the Prevention of Post-cesarean Surgical Site Infections: A Randomized Controlled Trial

The University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston·interventional·Posted Dec 7, 2017·Updated Oct 19, 2018

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Alexis O-Ring Wound Retractor and Standard Surgical Retractors for Surgical Wound Infection. Completed, enrolled 564 participants.

Detailed Summary

Post cesarean section surgical site infection (SSI) is a common complication that can affect patient recovery and overall outcome. Several approaches have been studied to improve SSI rates such as timing of antibiotic administration and skin preparation. Alexis retractors have been suggested as a reasonable option to decrease SSI. However, to date there is only one randomized controlled study assessing its efficacy. The aim of this study is to whether Alexis wound retractors are beneficial in preventing cesarean section SSI.
