Our recently published randomised self-controlled trial (RCT) compared the rate of healing of chronic VLUs with and without the geko™ device, with each patient acting as their own control. The study measured the rate of healing using wound margin advance (WMA) and percentage area reduction (PAR). The results show that the addition of the geko™ device to standard of care (SoC) more than doubled the rate of healing of VLUs compared with SoC alone.

A CNS team at a 700-bed Magnet-recognized, academic medical center in northern eastern US identified the need to construct a scorecard to track clinical outcomes and identify the associated financial impact. They discovered that high utilization and compliance with an Initial Specimen Diversion Device® lead to a sustained reduction on blood culture contamination rates. At the end of the fiscal year, they were able to report that 347 contaminations had been avoided from the baseline, leading to a $1.49 million in net cost avoidance.   Read the full study here: https://lnkd.in/g8CC-kP4
