Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

Post-cesarean section wound infections are responsible for longer hospital stays, readmissions, and ultimately, increased costs to the healthcare system. Silver-containing dressings may prevent wound infections. The purpose of the current study is to determine if the use of a silver-impregnated dressing decreases the occurence of wound infection following cesarean delivery.
