Comparison of the Effectiveness of Two Prophylactic Single-Use Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Devices in Reducing Surgical Site Complications After Cesarean Delivery: Insights From a Large US Claims Database

Of the 2 commonly used sNPWT devices, use of the -80 mm Hg device was associated with a lower likelihood of developing overall SSI, superficial SSI, dehiscence, and seroma, and was associated with lower costs after cesarean delivery compared with the -125 mm Hg device. There were nonsignificant differences in LOS, deep SSI, and hematoma. Further studies are required to confirm these findings.
