Vaginal bacteria and wound infection after C-section
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how the natural bacteria in the vagina affect the risk of wound infection after a C-section. If you're having a single-baby delivery at full term, you might be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your baby will be born at 37 weeks or later (full term).

This study looks at how often women get a surgical site infection after having a cesarean section (C-section). Knowing this can help doctors improve care and lower infection rates.
This study compares two types of wound closure after a planned C-section to see which one patients prefer and how it affects healing. It uses a special skin closure system that may reduce scarring and improve your recovery experience.
This trial compares two ways to clean the vagina before a planned cesarean section to see which one better prevents infections after surgery. It may help you if you are having a planned c-section.
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 whether shining a special light (Bioptron light therapy) on the incision can help c-section wounds heal faster. It is for women who had a c-section in the last 24 hours and are otherwise healthy.
This study looks at whether they can safely place “healthy vaginal bacteria” from the mother into the newborn after a scheduled C-section, and whether it improves the baby’s health. It only enrolls certain mothers and babies based on infection testing and other health factors.
