Incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy devices applied after Total Ankle Arthroplasty: A Hospital-Based Health Technology Assessment.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A portable, single-use incisional Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (iNPWT) device could be used directly on the wound incision following Total Ankle Arthroplasty (TAA). In order to support local decision-making in a French university hospital for the adoption of such device in this indication, a three-dimensional (clinical, economic and organizational) Hospital Based-Health Technology Assessment (HB-HTA) was conducted.

Materials and methods

The HB-HTA was based on: a literature review; results from the PICO-PTC single-site randomized controlled trial (ClinicalTrial.gov identifier NCT03886818); and semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals.

Results

Two comparative retrospective cohort studies were retrieved from the literature review. They su
