Impact of Gentamicin - Collagen Sponge (Collatamp) on the incidence of sternal wound infection in high risk cardiac surgery patients
OBJECTIVE Local delivery of prophylactic antibiotic to the wound site with an implanted, reabsorbable, gentamicin-containing collagen sponge (Collatamp) is a strategy that has been claimed to prevent sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery. The purpose of this study was to review our experience with Collatamp in cardiac surgery patients deemed at high risk for sternal wound infection. M...
متن کاملThe Use of Gentamicin-Impregnated Collagen Sponge for Reducing Surgical Site Infection after Spine Surgery
OBJECTIVE Surgical site infection (SSI) is the one of the most frequent complications in hospitalized patients, and it extends hospital stays and causes extra morbidities. To reduce SSI after spine surgery, we applied the gentamicin-impregnated collagen sponge (Collatamp G) during the operation and analyzed the results retrospectively. METHODS Between October 2012 and December 2015, we collec...
متن کاملGentamicin-Impregnated Collagen Sponge: Effectiveness in Preventing Sternal Wound Infection in High-Risk Cardiac Surgery
Sternal wound infections represent one of the most frequent complications after cardiac surgery and are associated with high postoperative mortality. Several preventive methods have been introduced, and recently, gentamicin-impregnated collagen sponges (GICSs) have shown a promising effect in reducing the incidence of this type of complications. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that h...
متن کاملGentamicin-collagen sponge for infection prophylaxis in colorectal surgery.
BACKGROUND Despite the routine use of prophylactic systemic antibiotics, surgical-site infection continues to be associated with significant morbidity and cost after colorectal surgery. The gentamicin-collagen sponge, an implantable topical antibiotic agent, is approved for surgical implantation in 54 countries. Since 1985, more than 1 million patients have been treated with the sponges. METH...
متن کاملGentamicin-impregnated collagen sponge for preventing sternal wound infection after cardiac surgery
The frequency of sternal wound infection (SWI) after cardiac surgery ranges from 0.5% to 8% and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality, and treatment cost. Perioperative antibiotic prophylaxis is not sufficient to fully prevent the contamination of the surgical access site. One of the most effective methods for the prevention of wound infection seems to be the use of gentamicin-imp...
