Study Summary
Fasciotomy wounds are rarely able to be closed at the time of index surgery. They often require multiple returns to surgery for closure, and occasionally require skin grafting (i.e. they are never completely closed). We are interested in seeing whether this device, which provides constant and gradual tension on the wound, may allow for rapid wound closure in a safe fashion, perhaps even precluding a return trip to surgery. Null hypothesis #1: The Dermaclose Wound Management System (Woundcare Technologies Inc, Chanhassen, Minnesota) will not result in closure of fasciotomy wounds more rapidly than standard vessel loop techniques. Null hypothesis #2: The Dermaclose Wound Management System will not reduce the number of return trips to the operating room for surgical procedures related to closure or skin grafting of fasciotomy wounds.
Primary Outcome
Days to wound closure; number and types of procedures required for wound closure; infection requiring reoperation; wound dehiscence requiring reoperation
Interventions
- DEVICE DermaClose fasciotomy closure
- DEVICE Vessel loop
