Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study tests whether a vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) system can help infected surgical wounds heal faster and with fewer problems compared to standard dressing changes. Thirty women with wound infections after obstetric or gynecologic surgery will be randomly assigned to either VSD or conventional care. The main goal is to see how many days it takes for the wound to fully close.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) system
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a faster, more effective way to heal infected surgical wounds after childbirth or gynecologic surgery, reducing hospital stays and the need for repeat operations.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, early study with only 30 participants and no blinding, so results may not apply to all patients. VSD also requires careful monitoring and may cause discomfort or rare complications like bleeding.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosis of a surgical site infection (SSI) following an obstetric or gynecological surgical procedure (e.g., Cesarean section, hysterectomy, myomectomy, salpingo-oophorectomy). * Wound classification as superficial incisional SSI, deep incisional SSI, or organ/space SSI (if accessible for VSD application). * Willingness and ability to provide informed consent. * Wound requiring secondary intention healing or delayed primary closure after debridement Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with necrotic tissue. * Presence of exposed blood vessels, organs, or anastomotic sites where VSD is contraindicated. * Untreated coagulopathy or active bleeding diathesis. * Allergy to VSD components or dressing materials. * Patients with significant immunosuppression (e.g., uncontrolled HIV, organ transplant recipients on high-dose immunosuppressants). * Patients with malignant wounds. * Patients who decline participation. * Patients requiring immediate primary wound closure without debridement. * Patients with a known history of severe psychiatric illness affecting compliance.
