Benzoyl peroxide combined with subcutaneous iodine reduces <i>Cutibacterium acnes</i> presence during shoulder surgery

Combining disinfection of the subcutaneous tissue after incision with preoperative application of benzoyl peroxide reduced the presence of <i>C. acnes</i> during surgery. These results suggest that the triple prevention protocol may be effective in reducing <i>C. acnes</i> infections after both arthroscopic and open surgery.

Abstract

Combining disinfection of the subcutaneous tissue after incision with preoperative application of benzoyl peroxide reduced the presence of <i>C. acnes</i> during surgery. These results suggest that the triple prevention protocol may be effective in reducing <i>C. acnes</i> infections after both arthroscopic and open surgery.
