Brief Summary:
The objective of the study is to measure the efficacy of the use of single-use portable negative pressure therapy (PICO ®) in the prevention of surgical wound infections (SSI) from cardiac surgery under extracorporeal circulation compared to single-use hydrocolloid dressings "Aquacel Surgical".

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Wound Infection, Surgical Procedure: Pico®" negative pressure dressing Procedure: Aquacel Surgical®" hydrogel dressing Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Negative pressure therapy is a type of physical therapy for wound healing that is based on the application of a negative pressure (void) in the wound bed.

Negative pressure therapy is based on the application of a subatmospheric pressure in the wound bed to trigger a whole series of mechanisms, and that to a greater or lesser degree, and in a synergistic manner, act by creating or improving the conditions for the healing process to develop (negative pressure therapy).

All these mechanisms act by diminishing the possibility of creating an appropriate medium for the growth of pathogenic germs.

Today, negative pressure therapy is also used to create ideal conditions in surgical wounds to prevent or reduce the risk of local complications, is what we call incisional negative pressure therapy.

Arms and Interventions
Go to

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Negative Pressure dressing
Pico®" negative pressure dressing that will be placed in the operating room in both sternal wound and saphenectomy. This dressing will remain in place for 7 days without getting up, unless it has become saturated, in which case, only the dressing will be changed.
 Procedure: Pico®" negative pressure dressing
Pico®" negative pressure dressing that will be placed in the operating room in both sternal wound and saphenectomy.The dressing will remain on for 7 days without waking up, unless it is saturated, in which case only the dressing will be changed
Active Comparator: Aquacel hydrogel dressing
Aquacel Surgical®" hydrogel dressing that will be placed in the operating room in both sternal wound and saphenectomy. This dressing will remain in place for 7 days without getting up, unless it has become saturated, in which case, only the dressing will be changed.
 Procedure: Aquacel Surgical®" hydrogel dressing
Aquacel Surgical®" hydrogel dressing that will be placed in the operating room in both sternal wound and saphenectomy. This dressing will remain in place for 7 days without getting up, unless it has become saturated, in which case, only the dressing will be changed.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of infection of the sternal surgical wound. [ Time Frame: 1-3 months ]
    The state of the surgical wound will be assessed and recorded on the wound care data collection sheet. Note whether the wound looks good or not and whether there are any complications: exudate, appearance of the wound, necrosis of the wound edges, redness, maceration of the wound or wound dehiscence.
