Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of using Bioelectric wound dressing on the pre-operative wound site and post operatively and compared it outcomes to the standard of care chlorhexidine skin preparation.

Detailed description

The standard of care for enhance recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol uses chlorhexidine alcohol base prep as the way to clean the skin preoperatively to decrease bacterial flora before sterile prep at the OR. Under ERAS protocol there is no recommendations on any post-operative dressing. Biolelectric wound dressing has been introduced, used and proof to decrease wound infection in orthopedic extremity clean surgery for years. The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of using Bioelectric wound dressing on the pre-operative wound site and post operatively and compared it outcomes to the standard of care chlorhexidine skin preparation.
