Surgical site infection in vascular surgery is a relatively common event with reported incidence as high as 43%. When considering the groin alone, the incidence is around 20% (30% when considering any wound complication). This complication may sometimes lead to heavier complication (leg amputation, longer hospital stay, high costs…) and affects the early postoperative quality of life of the patients.

| PICO® | Device | PICO® is a negative pressure wound therapy consisting in a 4 layers ready-to-use dressing connected to a small console, responsible for the aspiration. The system is canister free. The fluid drained from the wound is lost by evaporation for 80% of it and only 20% remains in the dressing. This permits to the dressing to be kept in place for maximum 7 days. The wound is not checked during the hospital stay, allowing the patient to leave the hospital earlier after the operation. |
