External Negative Pressure Dressing System (ENPDS) vs. Traditional Wound Dressing for Cesarean Section Incision in Obese Women.
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating External negative pressure dressing system (Yuwell 7E-A portable suction unit) for Wound Dehiscence. Completed, enrolled 260 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Obesity is associated with increased cesarean section delivery rates and surgical site infections with associated increased post-operative morbidity, post-operative pain and length of hospital stay. Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) technology could be used as a prophylactic measure to reduce surgical site infections in obese women undergoing cesarean section by immediate postoperative application in clean-contaminated, closed surgical incisions.
