Clinical Trial Summary

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.


Description:

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.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Quantitative bacterial colony counts for aerobic and anaerobic culture swabs will be taken at 3 timeperiods to determine if ChloraPrep is superior to Betadine in reducing incision site bacterial colony counts. Subjects scheduled to undergo primary total knee arthroplasty will be randomized to receive either a Betadine surgical scrub or ChloraPrep surgical scrub at the time of surgery. Subjects will be enrolled until swab #3 is obtained, 24 hours post-surgery. 24 hours
