Summary

This early-stage trial tests a new gel called Amicidin-β, applied directly into infected surgical or traumatic wounds during a procedure. The main goal is to see if it is safe and easy for surgeons to use. About 44 adults will take part, comparing standard care alone to standard care plus the gel.

What this could lead to
