Adjusting Skin Prep to Decrease Risk of P. Acnes Related Shoulder Infection
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Skin Prep Chlorhexidine and Skin Prep Benzoyl Peroxide for Shoulder Infection. Completed, enrolled 80 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Propionibacterium acnes is the most common pathogen identified from a surgical site infection in the shoulder. Standard skin preps do not prevent this type of infection. Patients will undergo either a chlorhexidine or benzoyl peroxide prep in days leading up to surgery. Bacterial burden will be determined at the time of surgery.
