Continuous Diffusion of Oxygen Treatment for Incision Wounds

This is an exploratory randomized controlled trial study to test feasibility, acceptability, and proof of concept efficacy of Continuous Diffusion of Oxygen (CDO) adjunct therapy for decreasing healing time and reducing tissue necrosis post breast reconstruction. The investigator will assess the benefit of this novel adjunct therapy on successful closure, tissue oxygenation, scar appearance, and patients centered outcomes including perception of benefit, pain, sleep quality, and quality of life. Eligible subjects will be randomly (ratio 1:1) assigned to either intervention group (IG) or control group (CG) and will be followed for four weeks. Both groups will receive standard of care for wound treatment. IG will also receive CDO adjunct therapy using a novel dressing, which facilitates continuously supplies oxygen to the wound inside the wound dressing using a portable device named TransCu O2. The study device TransCu O2® is a Class II medical device which has US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k) clearance, CE-Mark approval and a Health Canada license for the treatment of wounds. Outcomes will be assessed on weekly-basis up to 4 weeks.
