About this study

Official title: Single-Center, Randomized Trial to Study the Efficacy of InteguSeal for Surgical Skin Preparation in Patients Undergoing

This study is being conducted to investigate the potential benefits of using a special type of fluid that can be applied to the skin (Integuseal) in addition to standard surgical skin preparation in patients undergoing total hip replacement (THA) or total knee replacement (TKA). Integuseal is supposed to lock down the skin bacteria and reduce skin infection and other problems. This study will investigate whether Integuseal is effective in reducing persistent wound drainage when used in addition to standard surgical skin preparation for total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee replacement (TKA).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The primary endpoint of the study will be to determine the incidence of postoperative wound drainage during hospital stay when adding Integuseal to the normal surgical skin preparation.

    Measured: Total joint replacement to discharge from hospital

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To evaluate the effect of using Integuseal on the length of hospital stay after THA or TKA.

    Measured: Total joint replacement to discharge from hospital

  2. To evaluate the effect of using Integuseal on the incidence of surgical site infection (SSI).

    Measured: 6 weeks

  3. To evaluate the effect of using Integuseal on the incidence of revision or re-admission after undergoing THA or TKA

    Measured: 6 weeks
