How Pure&Clean fits into Orthopedic

Patients largely experience tremendous outcomes following orthopedic surgery. In fact, some of the most successful surgical procedures in all of medicine are performed by orthopedic surgeons. Unfortunately, one the most common complications in orthopedics is postoperative infection and this can be devastating for patients. Surgical site infection (SSI) rates for orthopedic surgeries in most hospital systems range from 2.5% to over 30%. These infections come from several different organisms, but the most common are staphylococcus aureus, MRSA, Acinetobacter, pseudomonas, cutibacterium acnes, and enterococcus. For this reason, it is crucially important to minimize infection risk as much as possible. A way to mitigate infection risk is to irrigate with a product that has high efficacy toward killing bacteria. Pure&Clean is very effective against all organisms mentioned. Many other irrigation solutions also have high efficacy toward killing these organisms, but unfortunately, they are also toxic toward native tissues. The toxicity toward native tissues can increase infection rate, which has been seen with products such as providone-iodine, chlorhexidine, and diluted bleach (E.g. Betadine, Irrisept,  Dakins, Anasept). Pure&Clean is unique. It is not toxic to native tissues, yet it is lethal to organisms that cause infection. 

 

Throughout healthcare there is an emphasis to minimize antibiotic and pharmaceutical use when possible. Pure&Clean usage leads to decreased antibiotic use, better patient outcomes, improved hospital ratings by lowering SSI and HAI rates, resulting in great savings, increased reimbursements and overall increased profits.

What makes Pure&Clean great for Orthopedic

Non-irritating, non-toxic and pain free products are so important for these patients as they begin their road to post-surgical recovery. Pure&Clean benefits patient outcomes while improving antibiotic stewardship. It does not harm or reduce migration of the body’s natural micro-environment and allows for improved heal rates and reduced recovery times.

Common uses for Pure&Clean in Orthopedic

Cleansing and irrigating before, during and after to promote healing and reduce SSI rates. Pure&Clean Hydrogel is great for dressing any post-surgical wounds, reducing and preventing biofilm and increasing migration of the fibroblasts and keratinocytes in the micro-environment and improving skin health.
