A Comparison Between Two Post-operative Dressings

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Surgical Incision

In brief

Surgical site infections are one of the leading causes of post-operative morbidity and mortality worldwide. The ideal post-operative dressing is impermeable and remains intact preventing contamination of the incision with microorganisms. In addition, it is often difficult for the patient to identify breaks in dressing integrity. This trial compares a post-operative dressing (DrySee® Inc. Houston Tx) with moisture detection allowing the patient to recognize when the dressing is compromised to a standard post-operative dressing (Tegaderm® + Pad, 3M, St. Paul, MN). The ideal dressing also allows the patient to shower without removing the dressing.
