Study Details
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the overall use of the WounDx medical device in a clinical setting, such as a hospital. The WounDx device is experimental and not yet approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). WounDx uses information about a patient's wound to generate a report that a surgeon may use to help determine when to close or not close the wound. The final decision to close the wound remains with the surgeon. The results from this pilot trial will inform a larger pivotal trial.
