This trial tests a “skin decolonization” routine using medicated skin cleaning to help lower the risk of surgical site infections after abdominal surgery. You may be eligible if you recently had an open abdominal incision and your wound is healing as expected at discharge.
This study checks whether an antiseptic method for cleaning the skin before surgery is safe and helpful for patients having a repeat (revision) hip or knee replacement. It may help reduce the risk of infection related to surgery.
This trial tests if reducing bacteria on your skin before skin cancer surgery on the leg can lower the risk of infection, especially for wounds left open to heal naturally.
This trial tests if a simple at-home treatment (using a nasal ointment and special body wash) before surgery can prevent staph infections at the surgical site. It's for adults having outpatient surgery in several specialties, like orthopedics or general surgery.
