Air Barrier System for the Reduction of Airborne Particulate and Colony Forming Units (CFU) During Total Knee Arthroplasty
Air Barrier System for the Reduction of Airborne Particulate and Colony Forming Units (CFU) During Total Knee Arthroplasty
This objective of this study is to determine whether the Air Barrier System device reduces airborne colony-forming units (e.g., bacteria) present at a surgery site during total knee arthroplasty surgeries.
The Air Barrier System (ABS) is a device that uses localized clean air flow to shield a surgery site from ambient airborne contamination. This study examines the hypothesis that the ABS can reduce the presence of airborne CFU at the surgery site during total knee arthroplasty surgery.
