Testing a special rinse to reduce bacteria during spine surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study tests if a special irrigation solution can lower bacteria levels in the surgical area during spinal fusion surgery with implants. It is intended for adults having their first planned spinal fusion surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a planned (non-emergency) spinal fusion surgery on your lower back, mid-back, or tailbone area.

This trial tests a solution used to clean the surgical site during spine surgeries to see if it helps prevent infections. It is for patients having certain types of spine surgery for conditions like deformity, cancer, or trauma.
This study is building a tool to predict the risk of surgical site infection after brain or spinal tumor surgery. It may help you understand your personal infection risk before your procedure.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a broad set of preventive antibiotics before certain high-risk orthopedic surgeries lowers the chance of serious wound or bone infection. It mainly targets people who have contaminated wounds, tumor-related surgery, or known high-risk germs on the skin.
This study tests whether giving a shorter course of antibiotics after surgery for a bacterial spine infection is as safe and effective as the usual longer course. It may help some people avoid side effects and reduce total antibiotic exposure—while still keeping the infection controlled.
This trial compares two common antiseptics (povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate) to see which better reduces germs in spinal surgery wounds during the operation. If you are having lumbar spine surgery, this study may help determine the best way to prevent infections.
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.
