Influence of Antiseptic Washes on Wound Healing Complications After THA
NCT07104084 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purpose of this research trial is to evaluate the effect of two types of washing solutions on wound healing after total hip replacement surgery. Washing solutions are used routinely during total hip replacements to clean the wound after the components have been placed and the wound is about to be closed with sutures. It is currently not known which washing solution may be better for wound healing and whether a certain solution decreases the risk of wound healing complications after total hip replacement. Therefore, this research trial is being conducted. Study participants will be randomized into one of two groups: washing the surgical wound with povidone-iodine solution (Surgiphor, Becton Dickinson, Franklin Lakes, NJ) or chlorhexidine solution (Irrisept, Irrimax Corporation, Lawrenceville, GA). All patients will undergo standard of care total hip replacements without any other change in surgery. The best type of solution that cleans the wound and potentially leads to better wound healing is unknown. This study will evaluate whether there is difference in surgical wound healing between the two washing solutions. The study will pay for the washing solutions. Patients will follow up for standard postoperative visits. At the 2-week and 6-week visits, pictures of the surgical incision will be taken and saved in the electronic medical record and evaluated in a standardized way for healing of the incision and the appearance of the scar. Postoperative complications and returns to the hospital or additional surgeries will be collected from the electronic medical record.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07104084
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07104084 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 420 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is F. Johannes Plate, which has 1 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Hip Osteoarthritis appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which lavage chlorhexidine is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07104084 reports 2 study locations spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Pennsylvania. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
