Can a special cleaner cut ICU infections?
NCT ID NCT05673226
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether using a special cleaning product called organosilane, in addition to standard cleaning, could lower the number of infections patients get in intensive care units (ICUs). Over 10,000 adult patients in ICUs took part. Researchers compared infection rates when rooms were cleaned with organosilane plus traditional methods versus traditional cleaning alone.
