Preventing wound infections after ECMO removal

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 suture-based device (Perclose ProStyle) to close the hole where ECMO tubes were placed in the leg, compared to manual pressure or a small surgery. It may help you recover faster with less bleeding after ECMO removal.

This trial tests a special wound dressing that applies gentle suction to the incision after major leg amputation. It aims to reduce wound complications and help the stump heal better.

This trial looks at whether a different dressing placed on the chest incision during certain heart surgeries can lower the risk of surgical wound infections. If you are having a sternotomy (a cut through the breastbone), this could help keep your incision cleaner while you heal.

This trial tests a special bandage that uses gentle suction to help prevent infections in surgical wounds after abdominal surgery. It may lower your risk of getting a wound infection, which could help you heal faster and avoid extra treatments.

This study compares two methods for removing patients from a breathing machine called ECMO. It aims to find which approach works better and is safer.
