Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

A randomized controlled, parallel group, superiority, open-label, single-institution, Phase 3 interventional clinical trial to evaluate clinical outcomes in obese gravidas undergoing elective cesarean delivery whose wounds were dressed with the PICO Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) versus the standard dressing. We hypothesize that the PICO NPWT will reduce the incidence of surgical site occurrences and interventions and postoperative readmissions in obese women. The study will compare surgical site occurrences and surgical incision intervention incidence within 42 +/- 10 days post cesarean delivery in obese women who have the current standard-of-care dressing versus the PICO NPWT.
