Special dressing to prevent wound problems after gynecologic surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have at least one factor that puts you at higher risk for slow healing, such as diabetes, smoking, or being overweight.
- You are willing to sign a consent form.
