VANCOMYCIN- AND CHLORHEXIDINE DIGLUCONATE-IMPREGNATED DRESSING FOR THE PREVENTION OF ORTHOPEDIC SURGICAL SITE INFECTIONS: A PILOT STUDY USING A LOW-COST PROCEDURE
In conclusion, this study contributes to the discourse on preventive strategies for SSIs, presenting a pioneering approach with the use of vancomycin and chlorhexidine-impregnated dressings. Future research endeavors, incorporating larger-scale studies and addressing study limitations, are crucial for advancing the understanding and implementation of effective postoperative care strategies. <b><i>Level of Evidence I; Case-control study.</i></b>
