Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will enroll patients who will be receiving primary total knee replacements. Subjects will be randomized into two groups: Betadine surgical scrub preparation and ChloraPrep preparation prior to total knee replacements.

Study hypothesis: When used as a surgical scrub preparation prior to primary total knee arthroplasties, ChloraPrep (2% chlorhexadine gluconate and 70% isopropyl alcohol) is superior to Betadine (10% povidone iodine) in reducing incision site bacterial colony counts.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Swabs will be taken over the operative knee by study personnel for a bacterial colony count immediately before surgical site preparation is started, after the surgery prep is complete, and 24 hours post surgery prep. Swabs will be sent to the lab for quantitative colony counts and all 3 measurements will be compared and analyzed.
