A meta-analysis including 30 studies from a systematic literature review of 540 publications from a 13 year period entitled, “Meta-Analysis of Comparative Trials Evaluating a Single-Use Closed-Incision Negative-Pressure Therapy System,” recently published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, demonstrated that PREVENA™ Therapy performed significantly better at reducing the incidence of SSIs in comparison to traditional and advanced wound dressings. Randomized controlled trials and observational studies were assessed across specialties, including cardiothoracic, lower extremity, colorectal/abdominal, obstetrics and vascular surgery.

KCI, now a part of the Acelity Company, has announced that its PREVENA negative pressure incision management system is the first to receive FDA’s indication to help with reducing superficial surgical site infections in those at high risk of post-op infections. The approval comes under the FDA’s de novo pathway that was designed to bring forward new technologies that may help address important medical necessities.

The prevena is a new innovation for surgical incision managment to help prevent infections.  As an operating room nurse, I have seen this product used in several surgeries.  The surgeons are aware of its benefits and know it's a great product for the patients.  This product is easy to apply to the incision site and has very little application and operating steps.  It is disposable, compact, and all comes in one package.  Also, with the increase in certain diseases such as diabetes, kidney disease, and obesity, the prevena is a much needed apparatus to help prevent infections after surgery. Therefore, I think the prevena is a great new innovation.

For my team I chose:

1. Alice

2. Abraham

3. Carols

4. Randall

5. Faith

I chose this team because they all have my strengths, except for Faith who is futuristic, which I believe applies to innovation. Alice is an achiever, which I can relate to by having a strong work ethic and likes to stay busy and productive. I chose Abraham since he is an arranger. Arrangers are flexible and can figure out how to produce maximum productivity. Carols strength is context, where learning from the past to move on with the future is very beneficial in innovation. Then there is Randall, who has the strength of responsibility. Responsibility means being loyal and committing to doing what you said you will do.
