Vacuum bandages could slash infection risk for cancer patients
NCT ID NCT03175718
Summary
This Canadian study tests whether special vacuum dressings can reduce serious wound complications after leg sarcoma surgery. About 291 patients who receive radiation before surgery will be randomly assigned to get either the vacuum dressing or a standard dressing for one week. Researchers will track wound healing, hospital stays, and patient satisfaction for four months to see if the vacuum approach improves recovery.
