Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Obese patients undergoing cesarean section are at high risk for wound complications, which occur in approximately 20% of patients. This is a randomized controlled trial designed to determine whether the risk for wound-related complications can be reduced by covering the incision with a silver-impregnated dressing in the postoperative period.
