A Novel Wound Retractor Combining Continuous Irrigation and Barrier Protection Reduces Incisional Contamination and Surgical Site Infection in Colorectal Surgery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating CleanCision Wound Retraction and Protection System and Alexis O Wound Protector for Colorectal Surgery. Completed, enrolled 702 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Surgical site infection (SSI) remains a problem in colorectal surgery. Strategies to reduce the incidence of SSI following colorectal surgery are important to improve overall patient outcomes, reduce healthcare-associated costs and provide value-based healthcare to surgical patients. Preventing contamination of the wound through the use of barrier wound protectors or intraoperative wound irrigation has shown significant promise individually and is an ongoing focus to reduce wound infections SSI.
