The purpose of this study is to determine whether oxidized regenerated cellulose (ORC) is effective to reduce the risk of surgical site infections (SSI).
Surgical site infections (SSI) have significant clinical and economic repercussions since they still are the most common cause of nosocomial infections in surgical patients. It is important to bear in mind the growing number of SSI due to antibiotic-resistant microorganisms.
