About this study

Official title: Feasibility Study of the Antimicrobial Hernia Repair Device for Repair of Ventral or Incisional Hernia

This prospective clinical study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Cook® Antimicrobial Hernia Repair Device containing an antimicrobial to reinforce soft tissue during ventral or incisional hernia repair in clean-contaminated, contaminated, and dirty-infected (i.e., Class II, Class III, and Class IV) surgical fields. Up to 30 patients will be treated with the Cook® Antimicrobial Hernia Repair Device and patients will be followed for 12 months.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Surgical Site Infection (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02401334, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
