Official title
Microbial Sealants Do Not Decrease Surgical Site Infection for Clean Contaminated Colorectal Procedures.
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
Surgical site infections (SSI) are costly complications that may cause significant morbidity and increase the cost of care, particularly in colorectal surgery. Microbial sealants (MS) are a new class of wound barriers aimed at decreasing SSI, however there is only evidence of benefit in clean Class 1 procedures. Based on its success in Class 1 procedures, we hypothesized that a microbial sealant could reduce the rate of SSI by half for clean contaminated colorectal procedures (Class 2).
