Summary
This pilot 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 using sterile gloves. Over six weeks, researchers tracked infections and other outcomes like hospital stay length and costs. The goal was to gather initial data on whether simpler, cheaper methods might be safe.
