Standard of Care Prophylaxis
Standard prophylaxis will be administered by Irrisept patients as would individuals in the control group. In addition, these Irrisept study subjects will be supplemented with the use of Irrisept irrigation by the study surgeon during the patient's surgical procedure. Standard times for irrigation will include immediately after incision through the dermal layer, and immediately prior to implantation of any prosthetic components. Final irrigation will be performed just prior to closure of the deltopectoral interval.
Standard prophylaxis includes use of chlorhexidine wipes (Sage cloth) the night before and morning of surgery on the surgical site over the anterior shoulder.
