Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This is a single-site, prospective, clinical study of subjects that are scheduled to undergo either total hip or total knee arthroplasties. It is anticipated that surgical wounds treated with SurgX will exhibit reduced surgical site complication rates and improved post-operative treatment outcomes by potentially decreasing site bioburden of both free-floating and biofilm-entrenched organisms.
