Hydrocolloid Dressings for Oculofacial Wound Healing
This study is looking at how well a special bandage, called a hydrocolloid dressing (DuoDERM EXTRA THIN), works for healing wounds after eye and face surgery (oculofacial reconstruction), especially after a type of skin cancer surgery called Mohs micrographic surgery. The dressing would be put on right after surgery and taken off about a week later. The goal is to see if this dressing can replace antibiotic ointment and make post-surgery care easier for you. We are looking for 20 adults, aged 18 to 100, who can attend follow-up appointments. The main thing we'll be checking is how many people have their wound open up (wound dehiscence) after 3 months. The current status of this study is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 20 participants.
- What's involved
- You would need to attend follow-up appointments at 1 week, 6 weeks, and 3 months in an office setting. The dressing would be applied once after surgery and removed at your 1-week appointment.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Participants will be followed for 3 months after treatment to check for wound dehiscence.
