Evaluating the Effect of Surgical Drain Securement on Patient Quality of Life and Postoperative Drain-related Complications
Sponsor: Wake Forest University Health Sciences
Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate whether surgical drain securement with a novel sutureless device (K-LOCKTM) will improve patient quality of life and reduce postoperative drain-related complications compared to drain securement with traditional suture-based methods. The K-LOCK™ Device is a novel sutureless drain securement device that may improve patient experiences with surgical drains.
