Preoperative skin asepsis in bovine surgery: an outcome-blinded 3-arm randomized clinical trial under non-sterile operating room conditions
All protocols met minimum FDA standards in reducing bacterial colonization. While limited by sample size and single-center design, this study confirms the OCT-based protocol as a valuable option for preoperative skin asepsis in clean abdominal bovine surgery.
