Gombert A, et al. - The potential benefits of closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) application after groin incisions for vascular surgery were determined. Researchers analyzed 204 patients (mean patient age 66.6 ± 9.4 years) who underwent vascular surgery for peripheral artery disease (PAD) at two sites between July 2015 and May 2017 and received post-operative treatment with ciNPT (intervention group) or standard wound dressings (control group). Outcomes supported that using ciNPT results in a reduced superficial SSI rate after vascular surgical groin incision compared with standard wound dressings.
