No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This objective of this study is to determine whether the Air Barrier System device reduces airborne colony-forming units (e.g., bacteria) present at a surgery site during total knee arthroplasty surgeries.

Conditions

  • Osteoarthritis, Knee

Interventions

DEVICE

Air Barrier System

The Air Barrier System is a device that uses localized clean air flow to shield a surgery site from ambient airborne microorganisms that are shed into the air from people present in the operating room.

OTHER

Control

The Air Barrier System will be deployed onto the surgical field, but the airflow will not be activated, so this is a sham control comparator.
