Active clinical trials for "Wound Infection"

This will be a single-center randomized control trial comparing the efficacy of two different formulations of Chlorhexidine surgical skin preparation in preventing cesarean section wound infections. Participants will be randomized to either 4% Chlorhexidine Gluconate aqueous solution (CHG) or 2% Chlorhexidine with isopropyl alcohol (CHG-IPA) 70% to examine the risk of infectious morbidity in those undergoing cesarean delivery. There will also be a cost-effectiveness analysis of the two preoperative skin preparations.

The aim of work to assess the effectiveness of preoperative vaginal cleansing with povidone iodine on reduction of post caesarean section wound infection Research questions: Does vaginal cleaning using povidone iodine before cesarean section has effect on reduction of postoperative wound infection??

This is a single-blind 1:1 randomized controlled trial based on the hypothesis that topical application of vancomycin paste over sternum edge is safe and can reduce sternal wound infection after elective cardiac surgery. Vancomycin paste will be prepared using 2.5 g of vancomycin mixed with 2 ml normal saline. Vancomycin paste as control or 2 ml normal saline as placebo will be spread on sternal edge immediately after sternotomy and before sternal closure. The safety of Vancomycin paste over sternum edge will be assessed according to postoperative serum Vancomycin exposure and potential side effects such as renal toxicity or bacterial resistance. Effect of topical Vancomycin on incidence of postoperative sternal wound infection will be assessed on postoperative 7, 30, and 90 days.

The goal of this single arm intervention study is to investigate the safety and performance of a suturing device for closure of the midline incision after open abdominal surgery. The study population consists of 38 patients selected for open abdominal procedures for malignant and benign colorectal disease. The main question it aims to answer is: • If the device facilitates a Suture-Length to Wound-Length (SL/WL) ratio of 4:1 Participants laparotomy wound will be closed with the device at the end of the operation and closure related data as closure time and SL/WL ratio will be calculated. The wound will be assessed for infection during the postoperative stay and the chart will be reviewed for wound dehiscence and wound infection.

Objective: evaluate the effectiveness and usability of a mobile application for post-discharge surveillance of surgical site infection as a support system for clinical decision.

The study aims to evaluate the efficacy of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) compared with primary closure (PC) in surgical site infection (SSI) prevention for laparotomy for peritonitis.

The goal of this clinical trial is to test in wound infection. The main question it aims to answer is: Whether this antibacterial bone traction needle is safe and has a good effect on wound infection. Participants will be implanted with an antibacterial bone traction needles and the infection grade of wound after surgery will be observed. If there is a comparison group: Researchers will compare the control group without antibacterial ability to see if the experimental group Can effectively inhibit wound infection.

This study is a prospective, multi-center, two-arm, unblinded, and randomized controlled trial with a goal of evaluating the impact of a closed incision negative pressure dressing (PREVENA) on incidence of post-operative wound complications and medical costs in patients undergoing lower extremity amputation.

This four-week prospective clinical investigation will assess the safety and feasibility of a medical device without CE-marking. The medical device is a light-emitting-diode (LED) and is manufactured by VulCur MedTech Aps. Violet-blue light treatment is tested on a total of twenty-two patients with chronic wounds, divided into three groups, each group only receiving one dosage. Three dosages (low, medium and high) of violet-blue light treatment is tested. ID 1-7 are assigned to the low group, ID 8-15 are assigned to medium group and ID 16-22 are assigned to the high dosage group.
