Study on antibacterial drape for hip or knee replacement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special antibacterial drape reduces contamination during hip or knee replacement surgery. The drape is placed over the skin to help prevent infection.

This study checks whether an antiseptic method for cleaning the skin before surgery is safe and helpful for patients having a repeat (revision) hip or knee replacement. It may help reduce the risk of infection related to surgery.
This trial tests a way to prevent infections for people getting a hip or knee replacement. It compares different methods to see which works best and may help lower your risk of infection after surgery.
This study tests whether using a special antiseptic wash during hip replacement surgery affects how well the wound heals. It may help doctors choose safer ways to clean the skin before your operation.
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics before and/or after surgery can lower the chance of a serious joint infection after elective hip or knee replacement. It’s aimed at people at higher risk for infection.
This trial studies a cleaning solution used during surgery to lower the risk of complications and improve outcomes after joint replacement. It may be an option if you’re having a planned knee, hip, or humerus (shoulder) replacement and meet the specific health and allergy requirements.
This study compares two antibiotic plans for acute (early) infections around an artificial knee or hip, using a procedure to clean the joint and try to keep the implant. It may help find the best approach to control infection and then prevent it from coming back with longer-term antibiotic treatment.
