Comparing Ioband® waterproof dressing to standard dressing after knee surgery
Official title: Does Ioband Coverage Waterproof Dressing Provide Better Outcome Than Isolate Waterproof Dressing After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty? A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Run by Thammasat University Hospital · NCT06943053 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether a new waterproof dressing called Ioband® works better than a standard dressing for people recovering from knee surgery by seeing if it needs to be changed less often and if patients are happier with it.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of Ioband® coverage waterproof dressing compared to standard waterproof dressing in patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It aims to determine if the Ioband® dressing reduces the frequency of dressing changes and the degree of peel-off, as well as to assess overall patient satisfaction. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either dressing type, and their outcomes will be monitored post-operatively. The study involves 96 patients and utilizes a randomized controlled design.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved wound care management and patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty.
How similar studies have gone: Similar studies have shown promising results in improving post-operative care with advanced dressing techniques, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
