Vacuum Sealing Drainage for Infected Surgical Wounds
Part of Infections, Skin, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special vacuum-sealed dressing (called VSD) helps heal surgical wounds that became infected after obstetric or gynecological surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment speeds healing and reduces complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a surgical infection after gynecology or obstetric surgery (like cesarean section, hysterectomy, fibroid removal, or ovary removal)
- Your surgical wound infection is accessible and classified as superficial, deep incisional, or organ-space level
- Your wound needs to heal gradually or be closed with a delay after surgical cleaning
- You are willing and able to give informed consent and follow the study requirements
- You do not have untreated bleeding disorders or active bleeding
- You are not severely immunocompromised (such as with uncontrolled HIV or on high-dose transplant rejection medications)

This study compares two ways to treat chronic skin wounds that need surgical cleaning. It tests whether a vacuum-sealing drainage (a special sponge that helps heal) is safer and works better than another method, possibly helping your wound heal faster.
This study compares two ways to help dirty or infected wounds heal faster: a suction device (VAC) that pulls the wound closed, versus regular bandage changes. The aim is to see which method leads to quicker healing.
This study tests a special dressing that uses gentle suction to help surgical cuts heal better and reduce the chance of infection after gynecologic surgery. If you are at higher risk for wound problems, this dressing might help you recover more smoothly.
This trial tests a new vacuum dressing (3M V.A.C. Peel and Place) to see how safe and well it works for different types of wounds. The dressing helps wounds heal by gently pulling fluid and dirt out, and this study wants to make sure it works well for you.
This study compares two ways of closing a surgical wound in the belly that has burst open after an operation: using a special vacuum dressing or closing the skin gradually. If you qualify, you could receive either treatment, and the goal is to see which one helps the wound heal better.
This study compares two wound care methods after surgery to remove a large sarcoma (a type of cancer) from the leg or groin. It tests whether a special vacuum dressing helps the wound heal better than standard care.
