Clinical trials: Antibiotic Impregnated Beads
Surgical Site Infection
Study for Antibiotic Impregnated Calcium Sulfate Beads as Prophylaxis for Surgical Site Infection
The CDC quotes a rate of wound infection of 2-5% for inpatient surgery. Patients undergoing a vascular operation, however, are generally at an increased risk of wound infection with rates often close to 5-10%.
