Summary
The objective of this study is to determine whether the Air Barrier System device reduces airborne colony-forming units (e.g. bacteria) present at a surgery site during spinal procedures.
Detailed description
The Air Barrier System is a device that uses localized clean air flow to shield a surgery site from ambient airborne contamination. This study examines the hypothesis that the Air Barrier System can reduce the presence of airborne colony-forming units at the surgery site during spinal procedures.
