    Area of Science:

    • Medical Devices
    • Surgical Innovation
    • Infection Prevention

    Background:

    • Wound infection is a significant risk in emergency surgery.
    • Traditional wound irrigation methods may be suboptimal in preventing complications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate a new device for preventing wound infection during emergency surgery.
    • To compare the efficacy of the novel device against traditional pulsed fluid stream apparatus.

    Main Methods:

    • A novel funnel-shaped device with an elastic 'skirt' and angled openings was developed.
    • A comparative analysis involved 60 patients, assessing the new device against a traditional pulsed fluid apparatus.
    • Outcomes measured included wound washing effectiveness, spattering, ease of preparation, solution economy, and purulent complication rates.

    Main Results:

    • The novel device demonstrated superior wound washing and prevented solution spattering.
    • It offered easier preparation and economy of the washing solution.
    • No purulent complications occurred with the new device in contaminated/infected cases, versus 18.2% in the comparison group.

    Conclusions:

    • The suggested device is highly effective in preventing wound infections in emergency surgery.
    • Its design ensures efficient, contained wound irrigation, leading to better patient outcomes.
    • This innovation offers a significant improvement over existing pulsed fluid stream devices for wound complication prevention.
