NCT ID NCT05763602
Summary
This study is testing whether applying an iodine gel inside the nose can prevent serious surgical site infections in patients having emergency surgery for severe leg fractures. The gel aims to kill Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, a common cause of dangerous infections, before they can cause problems. Researchers are enrolling 2000 patients at high risk for infection to see if this simple, quick treatment improves their recovery.
