What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
The purpose of this study is to document the incidence of allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings, to document the incidence of acute wound dehiscence requiring reoperation after application of silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings, to identify differences in clinic utilization for complications related to silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings and to collect patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) related to patient comfort and satisfaction for silk fibroin and 2-octyl cyanoacrylate mesh dressings after total hip arthroplasty.
