Primary outcomePrimary: Presence of BMP-2 in Effluent Collected in IVAC Canister — 6; 11 participants — p==0.36

Summary

People who have been scheduled for surgery using Bone Morphogenic Protein (called BMP-2) and an incisional vacuum assisted closure device (called IVAC) will be asked to join this study. The purpose of this study is to see if using the IVAC device removes BMP-2 from the wound. BMP-2 is a protein used by the body to increase bone healing, decrease the need for additional surgery, and reduce infection rates. The IVAC is a device that involves a foam dressing secured with an adhesive drape to make an airtight seal over a surgical incision. Tubing runs from the foam dressing to a device that uses gentle suction to drain fluid out (like a vacuum). The IVAC stays on for 48-72 hours depending on amount of drainage. The IVAC by itself helps reduce wound swelling and complications (such as infection).
