The DRESSINg trial: A multicentre randomised controlled trial to assess the effectiveness of Dialkylcarbamoylchloride (DACC) coated post-operative dressings versus standard care in the prevention of Surgical Site Infection in clean or clean contaminated vascular surgery Oct 1, 2023 - Sep 30, 2026
Aims
This study aims to investigate the role of a new dressing (DACC) in preventing wound infection follow vascular surgery. This dressing has a special coating that binds to bacteria irreversibly, allowing them to be removed. The DACC dressings wil...
