Prevena™ Incision Management System Versus Dermabond in the Prevention of Groin Wound Infections in Patients Undergoing Vascular Surgery
This study evaluates the clinical efficacy and cost effectiveness of Prevena Incision
Management System versus Dermabond in preventing groin wound infections in patients who
undergo vascular surgery requiring a groin wound. Half of the patients will receive Dermabond
and the other half will receive the Prevena Incision Management System for their groin
wounds.
Management System versus Dermabond in preventing groin wound infections in patients who

and the other half will receive the Prevena Incision Management System for their groin
wounds.
Dermabond and the Prevena Incision Management System are both FDA approved wound care
products. Prevena is a negative pressure system which holds the wound together and removes
exudate and debris from the site to prevent infection. Dermabond is a surgical glue which
holds the wound together to prevents infection. Prevena is more expensive to apply. However,
the hypothesis is that the Prevena System will decrease infection rates and therefore,
decrease the ultimate cost of the health care needed after surgery.
