Official title
A Study to Investigate the Time to Closure of Delayed Healing Dehisced Incisions, Delayed Healing Traumatic Wounds or Chronic Cutaneous Defects Surgically Excised With VERSAJET Compared Conventional Operating Room Techniques
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
It is increasingly recognised that the debridement of devitalised, bacterially contaminated or senescent tissue is an essential component of the effective treatment of delayed healing wounds. Whilst surgical debridement procedures have conventionally been performed with scalpels and other sharp instrumentation, alternative techniques such as the VERSAJET Hydrosurgery System are becoming more widespread. To increase the adoption of this new technology, it is essential that clinical improvements are assessed alongside the potential impact on the costs of debridement and the net financial impact on the hospital. It is hypothesised that a decrease in the time to achieve stable wound closure will not only lead to a patient benefit, but also a potential reduction in the cost of treatment due to e.g. repeat procedures, longer hospital stay, infection etc. The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference in time to closure of wounds surgically excised with VERSAJET Hydrosurgery System and those surgically excised using conventional operating room techniques.
