Efficacy Study of Antiseptic Preoperative Scrubs in Prevention of Postoperative Infections
Completed
Medical College of Wisconsin
Phase 3
2003-09-01
Most cases of infection of clean-contaminated wounds (wounds without gross spillage of
organisms from the gastrointestinal tract) are thought to originate from the skin. Therefore,
it is conceivable that application of an optimal antiseptic agent can reduce the rate of
surgical wound infections. This trial is to compare the impact of disinfecting the skin with
Chloraprep (2%chlorhexidine and 70% isopropyl alcohol) vs. Betadine on the rates of infection
of clean-contaminated surgical wounds. The study will also assess the occurrence of adverse
effects on the skin from either antiseptic agent and the cost-savings associated with the use
of Chloraprep vs Betadine.
