Summary

This study compares a new suture coated with chlorhexidine (Novosyn CHD) to a standard uncoated suture for closing wounds after abdominal surgery. About 3,000 adults having emergency or planned laparotomy or laparoscopic surgery will take part. The goal is to see if the coated suture leads to fewer surgical site infections.
