Summary

This study looked at 25 adults who had knee surgery to see if using clean non-sterile gloves for wound dressing leads to more infections than sterile gloves. Over six weeks, researchers tracked infections and other outcomes. The goal is to find out if simpler, cheaper methods are safe enough for routine care.
