Xperience™ vs Normal Saline Irrigation Solution for Decreasing Bioburden After Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty

A Randomized Controlled Trial of the Next Science® XPERIENCE™ Advanced Surgical Irrigation Versus Standard of Care Irrigation Efficacy in Decreasing Bioburden in Primary Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty Wounds

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Xperience, a no rinse antimicrobial solution, on joint infection rates in patients undergoing total hip (THA) and total knee (TKA) arthoplasty surgery.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Scheduled to undergo primary total hip (via direct anterior approach, press-fit components) or total knee arthroplasty (via manual approach, cemented components).
• Willing to comply with all study-related procedures and be available for the duration of the study.
• Provide signed and dated informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Unable to provide signed and dated informed consent.
• Unwilling or unable to comply with all study-related procedures.
• Known history of sensitivity or allergic reaction to any of the study products or its components, including any products used for standard of care (such as dressings or any coverings).
• Has underlying condition or state that, in the 'investigator's opinion, would make them too critically ill to complete the day 90 postoperative follow ups.
• Pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing female subjects.
• Subject with any mental impairment or condition that would make them unable to properly consent without use of LAR or additional subject protections.
• Subject is a prisoner and/or part of a vulnerable subject population, which necessitates additional human research subject protections beyond the scope of this protocol.
• Subject with an active infection or systemic antibiotic therapy within 2 weeks prior to surgery with the exception of preoperative antimicrobial prophylaxis.
