Irrisept for emergency surgery patients
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if using Irrisept (a special wound-cleaning solution) during emergency surgery can help prevent infections. It includes adults who need an open surgery for an urgent stomach or bowel problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are hospitalized at UT Tyler
- You need an open surgery (or start with small incisions but switch to open) for an urgent condition
- Your surgery wound is classified as class 2, 3, or 4 (meaning it involves the stomach, bowel, or is already infected)
- You do not have a pressure wound or a simple skin abscess as the main reason for surgery

This trial tests whether using a special antiseptic solution (Irrisept) when removing a urinary catheter can lower the chance of getting a urinary tract infection. It is for people visiting a urology clinic for catheter removal who are not already on antibiotics.
This study compares two types of wound cleaning solutions used during surgery for pilonidal disease: an antiseptic called Irrisept (0.05% chlorhexidine gluconate) versus normal saline. The goal is to see if Irrisept helps prevent infection and improve healing after a flap-based closure procedure.
This trial tests a special antibacterial wash (chlorhexidine) applied to a piece of intestine used to create a new way for urine to leave the body after bladder removal. It aims to reduce infections and improve recovery.
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.
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 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.
