NCT ID NCT07436065

Summary

This small pilot study aimed to find out if using sterile gloves is better than clean, non-sterile gloves for changing dressings after common knee surgeries. Researchers followed 25 patients for six weeks to see if one method led to fewer serious wound infections. The goal was to gather initial data to help hospitals decide on the best and most cost-effective standard practice.
