About this trial

A prospective, multi-center, double-arm, parallel, interventional, randomized, controlled clinical trial to assess the rate of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total hip arthroplasty (THA) or hip resurfacing (HR) with XPERIENCE™ (XP) Advanced Surgical Irrigation versus dilute Betadine (DB).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Primary TKA, THA, and HR

Subjects receiving both cemented or uncemented orthopaedic implants

Disqualifiers

Inability or refusal to sign informed consent form

Non-English or French speaking, and no licensed translator, family member or substitute decision maker available.

Prior arthroplasty procedure to the affected joint

Procedures involving solid HA implants

Treatments tested in this trial

  • XPERIENCE Advanced Surgical Irrigation

    Device

    The patient will undergo THA, TKA, or HR with irrigation of the deep wound prior to fascial closure consisting of XPERIENCE Advanced Surgical Irrigation (XP). XP solution will be applied prior to fascial closure and left to soak for up to 3 minutes. Remaining product will be suctioned away throughout the procedure. No rinsing should take place after irrigation and surgical site will be closed according to site standard operating procedures.

  • Dilute Betadine

    Device

    The patient will undergo THA, HR or TKA with irrigation of the deep wound prior to fascial closure consisting of Dilute Betadine (DB). DB concentration will be standardized at 0.3% povidone-iodine. DB will be prepared by combining 30 mL of sterile 10% povidone-iodine (from a sterile catheter pack) with 1 L of 0.9% saline in a sterile splash basin. Solution will be left to soak for up to 3 minutes and remaining povidone-iodine solution will be suctioned away. Area will then be rinsed with 1L of normal saline. Surgical site will be closed according to site standard operating procedures.
