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 tests whether washing the surgical site with a special antimicrobial liquid after the incision can lower the risk of infection during shoulder replacement surgery. It may help people who are already planning a first-time shoulder replacement.
This study tests whether a specific skin-cleaning method before shoulder replacement surgery can reduce a common bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) found on skin and deeper samples. It may help lower the risk of infection or contamination during prosthetic shoulder surgery.
This study compares different ways to clean the skin before shoulder surgery to prevent infection. It might help if you are going to have shoulder surgery and want safer, more effective infection prevention.
This trial tests whether a special gel (Prontosan) applied during shoulder replacement surgery can reduce the risk of infection. It is for men having their first shoulder replacement.
This trial tests a surgical prep solution called Surgiphor during first-time total shoulder replacement. It aims to help prevent infections.
