NCT ID NCT06489431
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two methods to prevent infections during first-time penile implant surgery for erectile dysfunction. One group receives the standard antibiotic rinse, the other uses Irrisept, a simpler cleaning solution. Researchers will follow 200 men for one year after surgery to see if infection rates are similar.
