SURGX Antimicrobial Gel Versus Povidone-iodine Skin Incision Prep in Total Shoulder Arthroplasty

Summary

Comparing the growth of intra-operative tissue cultures of Cutibacterium Acnes after primary shoulder replacement when using a no-prep control group versus antimicrobial wound gel versus betadine applied to the skin layer after the skin incision has been made. Reducing the bacteria present in the deep tissues at the end of the surgery may prevent infections from developing in the future.
