Preventing graft infections with a special rinse during surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if a special rinse (hypochlorous acid) can prevent infections when a man-made blood vessel graft is placed in your belly or leg. The goal is to lower the risk of serious infections after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are having an open surgery to place a man-made (prosthetic) graft in your belly or leg blood vessels.
- You are 18 years old or older.
