Negative pressure wound therapy

Single use negative pressure wound therapy systems are composed of a pressure pump and dressing kit. The pump creates a negative pressure of 125 mmHg (+/- 20 mgHg) and the dressing directly covers surgical incision. The system is battery-powered and designed to be used for a minimum of two days and a maximum of seven days of continuous use. The investigators hypothesize that negative pressure wound therapy will decrease the wound complications in these patients. The investigators will be using Prevena Incision Management System as the negative pressure device in our study.
