Acne face wash to reduce shoulder surgery infection risk
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a special acne face wash before shoulder surgery can lower the risk of infection. If you have a rotator cuff tear and are scheduled for arthroscopic repair, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a torn rotator cuff (muscle in the shoulder).
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic (keyhole) rotator cuff repair surgery.
- You have not had a shoulder fracture (broken bone) before.

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 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 checks whether giving an antibiotic “ahead of surgery” can reduce problems from common skin bacteria (Propionibacterium acnes) during primary shoulder surgery. It may help lower the risk of infection around the new joint/repair.
This study compares different ways of cleaning the wound during shoulder replacement surgery to see which is more effective at preventing infection. It may help you if you are planning to have a total shoulder replacement.
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 study tests if an extra release of certain tissues during rotator cuff repair can help prevent shoulder stiffness after surgery. It is for people with small or medium tears that can be fixed with a scope.
