Official title
Efficacy of Home Pre-Operative Use of 2% Chlorhexidine Cloths Prior to Shoulder Surgery
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
We intend to determine how effective the use of a 2% Chlorhexidine Cloth is in terms of eliminating the bacterial load on patients undergoing shoulder surgery. We will be comparing the Chlorhexidine Cloths with a control group which will be performing an ordinary shower prior to surgery. At this time, it is standard of care to only take an ordinary shower the evening prior, and the morning of surgery.
