First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two types of wound dressings—chlorhexidine-impregnated gauze and povidone-iodine dressing—to see which one better prevents infection and speeds up healing in people with fresh, clean-contaminated wounds from an injury. About 176 adults aged 18 to 65 will take part. The goal is to find a simple, effective way to improve wound care after trauma.
