Summary
This study tested whether a special dressing coated with a spider-silk-like chemical (DACC) can prevent infections after vascular surgery. Over 700 adults were randomly assigned to receive either the DACC dressing or a standard dressing after their operation. The main goal was to see if the DACC dressing lowers the chance of a surgical site infection within 30 days.
