Tested no-rinse cleanser to prevent joint infections after surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This study compares a no-rinse cleaning solution used during primary joint replacement surgery versus the usual care. It looks at how many people still have a joint infection 90 days after surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares taking antibiotics by mouth versus through an IV line for people who have an infection in their hip or knee replacement. The goal is to see if oral antibiotics work just as well as IV antibiotics after surgery to clean the infection.
This trial tests if a contrast agent used in ultrasound can help surgeons see pockets of infection around knee implants during revision surgery. It may help doctors do a better job cleaning out the infection.
This trial tests a way to prevent infections for people getting a hip or knee replacement. It compares different methods to see which works best and may help lower your risk of infection after surgery.
This study tests ways to prevent infections after major hip, knee, or shoulder surgery. If you have a serious medical condition that needs monitoring, this trial may help reduce your risk of infection after your operation.
This trial studies a cleaning solution used during surgery to lower the risk of complications and improve outcomes after joint replacement. It may be an option if you’re having a planned knee, hip, or humerus (shoulder) replacement and meet the specific health and allergy requirements.
This study is testing whether giving three different antibiotic combinations (instead of one) before surgery can better protect the good bacteria in your gut and reduce the chance of developing resistant bacteria. If you are having a joint replacement revision or similar surgery due to a suspected infection, participation might help improve how infections are treated.
