a multi centre prospective clinical in market evaluation to assess the performance of opsite post op visible Dressings
International Wound Journal, 2010Co-Authors: Gillian Obrien, Karen Buckley, Gilles Vanwalleghem, Dirk Vanrenterghem, Hussein Dharma, Rachael Rl Winter, Jude DouglassAbstract:The aim of this study was to assess the performance of Opsite™ Post-Op Visible as a post-Surgical Dressing in a typical clinical setting. In this multi-centre clinical evaluation, patients who underwent clean surgery were treated with Opsite Post-Op Visible Dressing. Duration of Dressing wear, visibility through the Dressing and ability to handle exudate were assessed and the product was rated in comparison with those normally used. A total of 64 patients were recruited. Mean wear time was 4·5 days. Exudate management was rated very good or good at 96% of assessments. Visibility of the incision site was rated as very good or good at 72%, and as acceptable at 24%, of assessments. Patient comfort was rated very comfortable (63%) or comfortable (37%) at all assessments. Dressings were generally rated as satisfactory or exceeding expectations with clinicians stating that the Opsite Post-Op Visible Dressing was better than the Dressing they routinely used for 92% of patients. Opsite Post-Op Visible Dressing is an innovative Dressing combining good visibility with exudate management and patient comfort. It was found to have adequate wear time, visibility and exudate management properties making it suitable for use on a variety of Surgical incision sites.

prospective randomized multi institutional clinical trial of a silver alginate Dressing to reduce lower extremity vascular surgery wound complications
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2014Co-Authors: C K Ozaki, Allen D Hamdan, Neal R Barshes, Mark C Wyers, Nathanael D Hevelone, Michael Belkin, Louis L. NguyenAbstract:Objective Wound complications negatively affect outcomes of lower extremity arterial reconstruction. By way of an investigator initiated clinical trial, we tested the hypothesis that a silver-eluting alginate topical Surgical Dressing would lower wound complication rates in patients undergoing open arterial procedures in the lower extremity. Methods The study block-randomized 500 patients at three institutions to standard gauze or silver alginate Dressings placed over incisions after leg arterial surgery. This original operating room Dressing remained until gross soiling, clinical need to remove, or postoperative day 3, whichever was first. Subsequent care was at the provider's discretion. The primary end point was 30-day wound complication incidence generally based on National Surgical Quality Improvement Program guidelines. Demographic, clinical, quality of life, and economic end points were also collected. Wound closure was at the surgeon's discretion. Results Participants (72% male) were 84% white, 45% were diabetic, 41% had critical limb ischemia, and 32% had claudication (with aneurysm, bypass revision, other). The overall 30-day wound complication incidence was 30%, with superficial Surgical site infection as the most common. In intent-to-treat analysis, silver alginate had no effect on wound complications. Multivariable analysis showed that Coumadin (Bristol-Myers Squibb, Princeton, NJ; odds ratio [OR], 1.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-2.87; P = .03), higher body mass index (OR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.01-1.09; P = .01), and the use of no conduit/material (OR, 0.12; 95% CI, 0.82-3.59; P Conclusions The incidence of wound complications remains high in contemporary open lower extremity arterial surgery. Under the study conditions, a silver-eluting alginate Dressing showed no effect on the incidence of wound complications.
