This is a prospective, multi-center, two-arm, unblinded, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the impact of a closed incision negative pressure dressing (PREVENA™ PEEL & PLACE™ Dressing Kit) on incidence of post-operative wound complications in patients undergoing above-the-knee (AKA) or below-the-knee (BKA) amputation. Up to 440 subjects at approximately five (5) participating sites will be randomized to receive either the Prevena dressing or a standard care dressing. The incision will be assessed for complications at post-op day 5 or day 6 and at approximately 30 days after discharge. The primary outcome of this study is reported wound complications, including dehiscence (opening of the incision), seroma, lymph leak, infection (deep or superficial), hematoma (blood clots), ischemia (decreased blood supply), and necrosis (tissue death) A major complication is defined as any wound complication requiring intravenous or oral antibiotics, reoperation and/or hospital readmission. All data (demographics, medical history, and clinical outcomes) will be collected via medical record review
