About this study

The wound infection rate in the groin after vascular surgery has been denoted to be high since the wound surveillance register started in 2005. The current wound infection rate based on a validation study was 22.9% (24/105 patients with groin incision(s) between 1 March to 30 June in 2012). This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate if negative pressure wound therapy on closed inguinal incisions (INPWT) after vascular surgical procedures can reduce the risk for surgical site infections and other wound complications.
