Floraseal Versus Iodine Impregnated Adhesive Drapes
Withdrawn before enrolling · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Surgical Site Infection, Surgical Wound Infection
In brief
Infection after total joint arthroplasty can have devastating consequences. Adhesive drapes have been traditionally used at our institution to help reduce the risk of wound contamination and infection by superficial skin flora. Our primary objective is to determine if a cyanoacrylate-based sealant (FloraSeal microbial sealant) is superior to conventional iodine impregnated drapes in prevention of both superficial and deep surgical site infections in total joint arthroplasty (TJA) patients. A prospective, randomized controlled model will be used to answer this question.
