Special bandage to prevent groin wound issues after ECMO
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study is testing a special bandage (closed incision negative pressure wound therapy) on the groin wounds after ECMO tubes are removed. The goal is to prevent wound problems like infection or slow healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether using a special type of wound dressing called ciNPWT (a vacuum-assisted bandage that removes fluid) before surgery can prevent wound problems in women having gynecologic surgery who are at higher risk for complications.
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 study tests a special vacuum bandage (called NPWT) to prevent wound infections after emergency belly surgery in people with diabetes and high infection risk. The goal is to see if this dressing helps heal better than standard care.
This trial tests if negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) helps heal large cuts from emergency belly surgery better than a standard dressing. It may reduce infections and improve recovery.
This trial tests a special vacuum bandage placed over your closed surgical cut to help prevent infection after open abdominal surgery. It's for people whose wounds are clean or only slightly contaminated.
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.
