With good pre-op protocols, colon surgeries start CLEAN But during surgery, incisions can get CONTAMINATED Wound contamination is a constant threat in colorectal and other high risk abdominal surgeries, raising the risk of surgical site infection. Nearly 50% of abdominal incisions are contaminated during colon surgery.¹ Good pre-op and post-op protocols are critical to SSI prevention. But they can't protect your patient during surgery when the threat of infection is at its highest. What's even more challenging is that today's intra-operative tools are not designed to fight the constant invasion of bacteria. CleanCision, a first-in-class advanced active cleansing technology, is built for the fight. CleanCision consistently and continuously clears contamination during surgery to maintain a healthy surgical incision. To find out more about how controlling intraoperative contamination can reduce SSI in your hospital, go to CleanCision.com to get our new white paper.
