About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Clinical Investigation, Comparing Two Postoperative Wound Dressings Used After Elective Hip and Knee Replacement

The primary objective of this investigation is to evaluate if complications related to surgical wound are more common in the treatment group compared to the control group starting from operation day until last visit.

The secondary objectives are to evaluate:

  • the performance of the dressing
  • the comfort, conformability and the acceptability of the dressing
  • pain before and during dressing removal on the last visit
Read the detailed description

A prospective, randomized clinical investigation will be conducted at two to three sites in Belgium and Sweden.

Male or female, 18 years and older undergoing primary hip or knee arthroplasty with an expected hospital stay of 4 days or longer will be included in to the clinical investigation.

100 evaluable patients (i.e. 50 subjects per arm). The treatment arm (either Mepilex Border Post-Op or Aquacel Surgical) Patient eligibility will be established before treatment randomization. Patients will be randomized using optimal allocation (minimization) balancing for the following baseline variables type of surgery (hip or knee), age and skin status. Eligible patients will be randomized to receive Mepilex Border Post-Op or Aquacel surgical in a ratio of 1:1 provided.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Composite Variable Ranging From 0 to 7, Combining Complications (Dressing Failure) Related Surgical Wound, Computed as: 3*(Dressing Change) + 2*Blister + (Pain>=30mm) + Redness on the Skin Under the Dressing

    Scale range from 0 (no dressing failure) to 7 ( complete dressing failure).

    Measured: 0-5 days

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Dressings Adherence to the Staples/Sutures

    Dressings adherence to the staples/sutures? Yes/No

    Measured: 0-5 days

  2. Itching Feeling Under the Dressing

    Itching feeling under the dressing? Yes/No

    Measured: 0-5 days

  3. Patients Satisfaction With Wearing the Dressing

    4 point rating scale ( poor, good, very good,excellent)

    Measured: 0-5 days

  4. Nurses/Doctors Satisfaction With Applying the Dressing

    4 point rating scale ( poor, good, very good,excellent)

    Measured: 0-5 days

  5. Patients Mobility After Operation

    4 point rating scale ( poor, good, very good,excellent)

    Measured: 0-5 days

  6. Local/Systemic Infection

    Local/systemic infection? Yes/No

    Measured: 0-5 days

  7. Pain Level Before and During Dressing Removal

    Different adhesive on the dressings, can any difference be identified during dressing removal.

    Pain level before dressing removal and pain level during dressing removal. Only measured on the last visit, with this point, the patient has not so much pain from the hip/knee joint replacement, which can have an effect on the result of dressing removal pain VAS scale (0-100 mm) 0= No pain, 100= Moste intense pain imainable.

    Measured: Day 7

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Active Comparator: Aquacel Surgical and Experimental: Mepilex Border Post-Op in people with Hip Surgery Corrective and Knee Injuries, run by Molnlycke Health Care AB at 3 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Composite Variable Ranging From 0 to 7, Combining Complications (Dressing Failure) Related Surgical Wound, Computed as: 3*(Dressing Change) + 2*Blister + (Pain>=30mm) + Redness on the Skin Under the Dressing (time frame: 0-5 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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?
