Irrisept vs. Saline for Pilonidal Flap Surgery
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
