Inclusion criteria

* is at least 22 years of age on the date of informed consent. * can independently provide informed consent. * requires and is scheduled to undergo a simultaneous, bilateral, primary TKA. * is willing and physically capable of undergoing a simultaneous, bilateral, primary TKA with or without replacement of the patella. * is willing and able to return for all scheduled study visits.

Exclusion criteria

* is pregnant or lactating. * has signs of an infection in the area of either knee or has signs of a systemic infection at the time of surgery. * is a chronic opioid user, defined per the CDC guidelines as opioid use for \>3 months, at the time of enrollment. * has a current diagnosis of lymphedema in either leg. * has signs, symptoms, or a current diagnosis of venous insufficiency in either leg, as determined by the investigator's review of the subject's medical history. * has a history of clotting disorder or prior history of deep vein thrombosis * will undergo a unilateral TKA. * will undergo a staged, bilateral TKA. * has had previous knee replacement surgery. * has received a corticosteroid injection into either knee within 30 days of surgery. * undergoes a simultaneous, bilateral TKA with a planned different incision type on each knee (eg, midline incision vs. medial parapatellar incision). * has known sensitivity to the study product components (drape and/or dressing materials in direct contact with the closed incision or skin). * has known sensitivity to silver. * is enrolled in another interventional clinical study. * has skin cancer localized at or in proximity to the incision site. * does not have access to an electronic device (smartphone, iPad, or computer) on a daily basis to complete online assessments. * has condition(s) that, in the opinion of the investigator, cause the subject to be an overall health risk that is unsuitable for the surgery. * has condition(s) that, in the opinion of the investigator, will impact study endpoints (eg, hemophilia or autoimmune disorders) or the ability to comply with study procedures.

Pre-assignment details

The number of subjects enrolled is 10; however, each leg is a separate arm in the study allowing for a total of 20 treatment allocations. The number started will be 20 which is greater than the protocol enrollment wherever this is acceptable for paired study design.
