A Prospective, Single-arm, Trial to Determine Contamination Rates When Using an Antibacterial Incise Drape During Orthopedic Surgery
The goal of this clinical study is to generate data on the intended use of a chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)-impregnated antimicrobial incise drape. The study includes subjects undergoing primary hip or knee arthroplasty procedures. The study evaluates the intraoperative performance and safety of the incise drape during surgery, including assessment of contamination and operative characteristics. Participants will have a CHG-impregnated antimicrobial incise drape applied during their surgical procedure. During surgery, samples will be collected from the operative site to assess potential bacterial contamination.
• Subject is ≥ 22 years of age on the day of surgery.
• Subject is scheduled to undergo a unilateral primary arthroplasty procedure on a hip or knee.
• Subject is capable of providing informed consent.
• Subject is willing and able to return for all visits.
