A Prospective, Randomized, Comparative Study to Assess the Prevention of Surgical Site Infection (SSI's) in Revision Total Joint Arthroplasty Patients Treated With Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (PICO) or Standard Care Dressings (AQUACEL Ag SURGICAL Dressing).

Summary

The primary aim of this study is to determine if the SSI rate following revision total hip and knee arthroplasty is reduced in patients treated with the PICO device compared to patients with traditional postoperative dressings. Our secondary goals include; comparing the amount of wound drainage, rate of resolution of wound drainage, length of hospital stay, functional outcomes, and economic implications of wound drainage and SSI after revision arthroplasty comparing PICO and traditional dressings.
