A Phase III Randomized Controlled Trial of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy in Post-Operative Incision Management

The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of using the Prevena
Incision Management System to using the usual standard dry gauze approach. The Prevena
Incision Management System is a type of Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT). NPWT is a
portable vacuum device made of a sponge-like foam that is applied over your incision to help
draw fluid and debris out after surgery.
