Innovative device for surgical wound irrigation : a preclinical testing and pilot clinical validation study

INTRODUCTION: Surgical site infection (SSI) poses a substantial postoperative challenge, affecting patient recovery and healthcare costs. While surgical wound irrigation is pivotal in SSI reduction, consensus on the optimal method remains elusive. We developed a novel device for surgical wound irrigation and conducted preclinical and clinical evaluations to evaluate its efficacy and safety.

METHODS: Two preclinical experiments using swine were performed. In the washability test, two contaminated wound model were established, and the cleansing rate between the device and the conventional method were compared. In the contamination test, the irrigation procedure with a fluorescent solution assessed the surrounding contamination of drapes. Subsequently, a clinical trial involving patients undergoing abdominal surgery was conducted.

RESULTS: The washability test demonstrated significantly higher cleansing rates with the device method (86.4% and 82.5%) compared to the conventional method (65.2% and 65.1%) in two contamination models. The contamination test revealed a smaller contaminated region with the device method than the conventional method. In the clinical trial involving 17 abdominal surgery cases, no superficial SSIs or adverse events related to device use were observed.

CONCLUSIONS: Our newly developed device exhibits potential for achieving more effective and safe SSI control compared to conventional wound irrigation.
