ClinConnect Summary

The PICO 7 vs PICO 14 trial is a study designed to compare two types of wound dressings for patients undergoing revision hip or knee surgery. Specifically, the trial will look at how effective a 7-day treatment with the PICO dressing is compared to a 14-day treatment. Eligible participants are adults over 18 who are having surgery to fix a previous hip or knee replacement and can follow the study guidelines. Importantly, those with infections or certain allergies to the dressing materials will not be included.

If you decide to take part in the trial, you will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups: either the 7-day or the 14-day dressing. Each group will use special PICO dressings that help manage surgical wounds. Throughout the study, you’ll need to attend scheduled visits to ensure everything is going well. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and anyone interested in joining should be willing to follow the instructions provided by the research team.
