Study of a rinse to lower bacteria in spinal fusion surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether rinsing the surgical area with a special liquid called PREVENTIA® before spinal fusion surgery reduces bacteria and lowers infection risk. It may help people having planned back surgery with screws or implants.

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 trial tests placing antibiotic and pain-relieving beads directly into the spine during lower back fusion surgery. It aims to reduce infections and improve pain control after the operation.
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 trial compares a new surgical technique called vertebropexy to standard fusion surgery for people with lower back problems like spinal canal narrowing or slipped vertebrae. The goal is to see if vertebropexy works as well or better with less recovery time.
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.
