- NCT07707063RecruitingPhase 4
Gum disease treatment with I-PRF, iodine, or laser in smokers and non-smokers
This trial tests whether adding I-PRF (a concentrate from your own blood), povidone-iodine, or laser treatment to standard deep-cleaning helps smokers and non-smokers with gum disease. You may qualify if you have moderate to severe gum disease with at least one bleeding pocket in each area of your mouth.

Washing the belly to prevent infections after emergency surgery
This trial compares two solutions (salt water vs. povidone-iodine antiseptic) used to clean the belly during emergency surgery. The goal is to see which one better prevents wound infections.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–60 - NCT06284174Recruiting
Comparing two antiseptics for spinal surgery wound soaking
This trial compares two common antiseptics (povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate) to see which better reduces germs in spinal surgery wounds during the operation. If you are having lumbar spine surgery, this study may help determine the best way to prevent infections.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT06302335RecruitingPhase 3
Iodine rinse vs salt water rinse in planned colon surgery
This study compares using povidone-iodine (an iodine-based cleaner) versus saline (salt water) to rinse the surgical area during planned colon or rectal surgery. The goal is to see which helps prevent infections at the surgery site after the operation.
Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do SulAges 18 years+ - NCT06363877RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a germ-killing rinse during abdominal surgery
This trial is testing whether a diluted povidone-iodine (a common germ-killer) rinse inside the belly during surgery can prevent infections better than a plain saltwater rinse. It is for adults having abdominal surgery for certain types of wounds.

Antibiotic and iodine for infection prevention in breast reconstruction
This trial tests if a combination of a pseudomonas bacteria injection and an iodine solution can help prevent infections in women having immediate breast reconstruction with implants after mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18 years+ - NCT06831422Recruiting
