This trial tests whether cleaning the vagina with Betadine (an antiseptic) before a planned or emergency C-section can lower the chance of infection after surgery. It is for women who have already received antibiotics before the procedure.
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 trial tests different ways to prevent surgical site infections (SSIs) after abdominal surgery. If you have a cut (incision) on your belly that is at least 5 cm long and the surgery is not
This trial tests a super-oxidized cleaning solution to see if it reduces infections after emergency surgery for a hole in the intestine. If you are having open belly surgery for an infected gut, this study may help guide safer recovery.
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.
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.
