Baseline data collection was completed for 114 participants (98.3 per cent, c.i. [94.0–99.8]). Pre- and post-injury PROMs were completed by 112 participants (96.6 per cent, c.i. [91.4–99.1]). Operative data were completed for 114 participants (98.3 per cent, c.i. [94.0–99.8]). Almost all participants received their assigned intervention, with one cross-over from standard sutures to antimicrobial. Three patients were withdrawn (2.6 per cent, c.i. [0.5–7.4]), two as sutures were not used in surgery and one underwent an elective operation (carpal tunnel decompression). There were three complications reported by sites: three incidences of SSI (2.7 per cent, c.i. [0.5–7.6]) and one of wound dehiscence (0.9 per cent, c.i. [0.0–4.7]). There was one serious adverse event (SAE) and no deaths. The SAE related to a participant who sustained a secondary injury from their wound dressing becoming caught in machinery and resulting in a digital amputation.
