Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The aim of this research is to examine if the brushless scrub is effective in reducing bioburden on the hands of the operating room (OR) personnel both with a prewash of one minute prior to scrub and without a prewash prior to scrub, and to compare the bioburden reduction between both methods. Hypothesis I: A soap and water prewash used prior to brushless scrub further decreases bioburden than brushless scrub alone. Hypothesis II: Brushless scrub is effective in reducing the bioburden measured just after the application of the brushless scrub within 20 seconds of application for both groups. Exploratory Hypothesis: We will also compare the bioburden measured before and at 1.5 minutes after application of the brushless scrub for both groups.
