Prevena Spine for Use in Spine Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
A pilot, prospective, single-center study for the investigation of the use of Prevena Vacuum-Assisted Closure devices in patients undergoing spine surgery.
Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
|
Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Prevena Plus 125 therapy Unit (KCI USA, Inc.) in preventing surgical site infections and other wound complications in patients undergoing spine surgery compared to conventional wound dressing. Furthermore, the investigators want to illustrate which patients benefit most significantly from Prevena usage as spine surgery sees a range of potential candidates, and not all may experience equivalent recovery from spine surgery with Prevena intervention.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Group 1 (control) Retrospective control of patients who did not use Prevena following spine surgery. |
Procedure: Spine surgery
Patients will receive spine surgery
|
Active Comparator: Group 2 (Prevena) Prospective group of patients receiving spine surgery who will have Prevena applied to incision area. |
Device: Prevena Plus 125 Therapy Unit
The investigators will utilize the KCI USA, Inc Prevena Plus 125 vacuum-assisted closure device in patients undergoing spine surgery as a method to prevent surgical site infections and wound dehiscence after surgery. The device has been approved by the FDA under the name "Prevena 125 and Prevena Plus 125 Therapy Units" and regulation number 21CFR 878.4783.
Procedure: Spine surgery
Patients will receive spine surgery

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Frequency of Surgical site infections [1-6 weeks following surgery]
Determine if infection is present at surgical site or not.
- Frequency of Wound dehiscence [1-6 weeks following surgery]
Determine if wound reopening (dehiscence) is present at surgical site or not.
- Frequency of Seroma [1-6 weeks following surgery]
Determine if seromas (collection of fluid under the skin) are present at surgical site or not.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Frequency of skin necrosis [1-6 weeks following surgery]
Measure the frequency of patients who experience skin necrosis in the incision area
- Frequency of readmission [1-6 weeks following surgery]
Measure the frequency of patients who are readmitted following surgery
